Functions are compiled to bytecode once, not each time they are executed.
Maybe someone was talking about the Function constructor which takes a
string argument and does compile the function each time you execute the
constructor?

Well, there's certainly no reason to use *two* functions here. You could
write the code either with a single anonymous function or a single named
function, as shown in Jörn's two examples, whichever you prefer.
