Speed definitely does matter for some apps: application servers,
database servers etc. So you can't generalize this.
I'll have to agree with the second comment, not the first.
I use fpc for statistical simulation programs, many of which run
for 6 weeks or more (with different pieces of the simulation
running in parallel on 6-8 different PCs). From my experience
with interpreted systems, these projects would take _years_
on the even fastest of those.
Agreed.
Try DNA sequencing with an interpreted system. You'd probably
need a time which must be expressed using cosmic scales, something
like the age of the universe ;)
