compiler and other performance enhancements

[Reed]

I would like the option of having scripts and functions compiled to machine language. This could make certain things, (like looping scripts and recursive custom functions) much faster. Now the only way to get speed in these cases is to call an external program (using send event or a plugin like shell) or to write a plugin directly. (I'm a bit too dense to figure out the API though )

If loop[] and if[] statements could run as fast in scriptmaker as they do in C (or even perl) that would make my day.

Oh, and I wish import and delete functions would speed up too...
