Byte Compile Question

[Perry Smith]

Hi,

I have the belief that byte compiling only helps with loading files and that 
once they are loaded, the code will execute at the same speed.

Is that correct?

Byte compiling all my personal files is a bit awkward for a couple of reasons.  
I considering not doing it any more but wanted to know all the tradeoffs.

If you can, please CC me on your replies.

Thank you,
Perry Smith
