For the right task ie when you'd use one, an interpreter would be an order of magnitude faster. On a 1 Gig box, if you save 1,000,000 instructions, you've saved yourself a second. If your interpreter cuts down on the time taken by an hour it saved 3600 seconds.
Did I say 1,000,000? ObHomer : D'Oh.
Cheers, Kurt.
