I disagree with this when you start trying to make some really cool functionality for example making web browsing better speed is important. Just go to some really large pages with jaws and see what happens. So the faster you can crunch text the better. I can't wait to code stuff in lisp for window eyes cackle.

IL may be slower the first time executed, since a compilation process occurs then. Thereafter, IL will generally be faster than an interpreted language. For the purpose of scripting a screen reader, however, I think speed is less important than other factors.

I have to think Compiled code would be faster and guessing IML would be faster as well.

I ask because anyone who would want to make WindowEyes scripts would want to possibly distribute them to others. Thanks.
