I think you are talking about binary format rather than compiled scripts. It was
talked so many times. If not ... The parser waste time with memory allocations.
If you don't want memory allocations you can swap and restore whole block of POV
memory ("comiled" script). But it is not portable at all and I doubt it is
portable between sessions.

Are you talking about something similiar to my idea from last week in
povray.general, right ?
