Re: lilypond and editors

Certainly not. Actually the java code is compiled to machine code at 
runtime. This is slower than precompiling, but the compiled code can run 
faster than its precompiled counterpart, because the runtime machine 
will have information about how often a certain part of the code is 
called, and those calls can be made inline. Running inline code is much 
faster than procedure calls.
