According to the recent Thinking Elixir podcast [0] the performance is comparable. They specifically cite the performance of dialyzer, which typically runs through HiPE, as being just as fast with the new JIT.
From what I recall HiPE isn't widely used and will be (may be?) removed.

Has anyone seen benchmarks of the new JIT vs HiPE?
Everything I’ve read is comparing the JIT to the interpreter, but HiPE itself is faster than the interpreter. So is JIT faster than HiPE?
