Now this may be a stupid question so feel free to shout at me.
If Perl is an interpreted language is there anyway that it the server software could be compiled for each platform for increased performance?

"there are no stupid questions, just a lot of inquisitive idiots" :) Sorry, couldn't help it. Anyway, no. There are some products out there that claim to compile Perl, but most are probably doing the same embedded-interpreter trick that Slim already does in the Win32 executable. Besides, thouse products usually require licensing that is incompatible with open-sourcing and giving away the server.
It's highly questionable whether performance would even improve... IMHO, the bottleneck at this point is single-threading, not interpretation. Of course, if someone around here knows C++ and wants to prove me wrong, I'm all ears :) This guy (http://lists.slimdevices.com/archives/developers/2004-September/010419.html) might have some tips for you.
