Yes!

At the moment each line of code is read, compiled and executed before the "interpreter" (which is what the VS Environment is) moves on to the next line.

When you Compile the code and then execute the result the machine moves from line to line which is ALREADY compiled so you immediately gain the compilation time back!

It can be a small difference or a massive one depending on your application.

Why not just try it and see!!
