Exactly. A reality is that speech messages informing us of the state of an application often lag behind the visual events.

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.
