In this chapter we explore the performance of the continuous compiler by presenting results obtains through experiments conducted with our simulator.
In Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 we compare the performance of the continuous compilation model with that of the traditional compilation and traditional interpretation models.
In Section 6.4 and Section 6.5 we examine how the implementation of various aspects of the continuous compiler affect performance. Section 6.4 compares the replace-at-call and replace-preemptive schemes while Section 6.5 compares the effects of compiling the files in different orders.
In Section 6.6 and Section 6.7 we examine how certain features of the executed programs can affect the performance of the continuous compiler.
