DrRacket doesn't currently know about the difference between those two (it just evaluates the program and eval knows what it is doing, but doesn't currently tell).
There is a related thing, tho: when debugging is turned off, if you see a green bubble (it will have little spikeys on it), then clicking run just starts from the compiled version that online check syntax produced. That can speed things up a bit.
