In traditional Java execution, source code is compiled into bytecode that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) loads and runs. By performing the translation to native code beforehand, AOT allows direct execution by the operating system, which eliminates the initial need for the JVM to interpret bytecode or wait for standard compilation paths during runtime. This proactive process significantly optimizes resource utilization right from the start.</p>
