If you don't byte-compile it at all, then it won't.
I think that there is an auto recompile package out there somewhere.
I never compiled my .emacs or subsidiary files myself. I doubt that it
makes that much difference.
Don't know that I would describe it as a "package"..
I picked this up somewhere along the way.
(Can't give credit to who or where as I forgot).
;; Make .emacs autocompile on exit
(defun autocompile nil
"compile itself if ~/.emacs.el"
(interactive)
(if (string= (buffer-file-name) (concat default-directory ".emacs.el"))
(byte-compile-file (buffer-file-name))))
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'autocompile)
