Some random not very well thought out ideas:-) 

Perhaps it would be interesting to have the embedded system be aware of
the network it is currently part of, and it may make sense to offload 
some computations to a faster nearby machine if the network can
transport answers back quickly enough.

>From an optimization point of view, bytecode could also be specialized
in the sense that finalization could be added, synchronization removed
and so on, if it is known to be safe to do so. So libraries written to
be extendible and thread safe could be optimized for size or space
