No optimization process is perfect. The alternative, though, would be for the executing process to run your first program before compiling the second, which sounds like it would be generally an inefficient thing to do - the more times control has to be passed from one process to another, the longer things generally take. And compilation generally only happens once - the first time the file is requested.
