To clarify, the C LOOP LLINT emulated a CPU’s behavior using emitted C instructions. As a result, it incurs a performance penalty that is under 10% (vs the ASM LLINT) if I remember correctly. So, the perf gain you’ll get comes from recuperating the losses due to the C loop being a CPU emulator. You should not expect to see any of the more substantive gains that come from the JITs.
