Or, conversely, that compiling single functions is ineffective and we
only care about compiling the loops?  No.

I expect that on a large and messy program like translate.py, after a
while, either approach should be fine.  Still, there are cases where
one or the other approach is better.  If you want an obvious example
where compiling loops is better, write a function that runs a loop a
large number of times, but is itself called only a few times.


A bientôt,

Armin.
