This behavior is the same even without a JIT. I'm not too hopeful this type of JIT will improve anything for PCSX2 on OpenBSD, for this reason. Or- maybe the JIT on MelonDS is particularly inefficient and I'm completely off base here. The main reason I fixed up JIT support on MelonDS for OpenBSD was to simplify the port to be closer to upstream defaults. The W^X-type of JIT doesn't seem *that* beneficial to us on OpenBSD, performance-wise. OFC I could be mistaken...
