Does the JVM launch when invoking native code?

Question

Are there any performance implications when calling machine code from Java bytecode? Since machine code is “unmanaged” and not “aware” of the internal components of Java, is this perhaps causing the internal JVM schedulers to stop or something like that?

I am new to Java, so maybe this is not even relevant, please help.

I know that in Erlang they have this problem when the virtual machine basically stops when it calls machine code calls. Hope this is not the case with Java. It?

Threads that run on their own code will not stop the JVM.
