Anything's possible. If you want to play with that, then it may be an
interesting excursion. Just keep the following in mind.
Rhys's Tenth Law of Optimization (or was it the Ninth? I forget :-) ):
"Load, interpret slowly" is usually faster than "Load, analyse,
re-compile, save new form, re-load, run fast".
This is why our interpreter sometimes outperforms JIT's - it spends more time
executing and less time converting. I suspect that a PDF viewer written in
C# that parses to a tree form and then displays immediately would actually
outperform "compile PDF to IL first".
But feel free to prove me wrong.
Cheers,
Rhys.
P.S. I'd love to see a PDF viewer written in C# using Qt# or Gtk# for the GUI.
That would be cool.
