[Mono-dev] LLVM Expectations

Apart from any issues mentioned in that page, LLVM is (currently) just too
slow to be used as a JIT. This is why it's limited to AOT only at the
moment. To the best of my knowledge, monos standard jit is still the primary
target for optimisations and will be for a long time.
