Ok, if you really can keep it on your server and find a way to keep everybody 
from being able to read the source and still use your php files..

However, if you try to sell a product, lets say some kind of a webshop, 
message board system, well.. anything php based, which people will run on 
THEIR servers, a compiled version surely is better. It also helps to support 
your product, as you can be sure people don't mess with your code.

It would be even better with some kind of encryption, but for me compilation 
would be sufficient.
