Atomic representation is not part of normal execution. It is a way to
represent a verb as a noun. To execute an atomic representation
requires converting it to internal form (i. e. the form produced by
parsing) first.

Hi all,
I have been comparing manually built identical phrases (a dyadic verb
with its arguments) and executing it with ". or `:6. My understanding
was that the advantage of atomic representation was that it bypassed
parsing and that the execution model was:
input string -> parsing -> atomic representation -> interpretation ->
result
However, I was surprised to see no speedup at all when transitioning
from string to atomic representation. Of course, my particular code
may be the issue. What are the usual strengths and weaknesses of
string vs. atomic representation?
Thanks!
Raoul
