Compiled vs Uncompiled Quiz

[Paul Kemner]

As I understand it, "Compiled" is somewhat of a misnomer. Maybe a better
term would be "pre-parsed". This may be different on some platforms, but
from what I've seen, a "compiled" quiz saves some of the time between when
the "use" statement is entered and the "go" is reached.

In a lot of cases, the savings doesn't seem worth it. If you were running a
report online from a quick screen, perhaps the 1 or 2 seconds is worth it.
I don't think it saves any time for the actual run of the report. As
someone else mentioned, you can use run-time generated code if you don't
"compile", and a minor dictionary change won't make your report blow up.
