Depends on the language. You could, for instance, have a syntax to 
define a Thread::run() and a separate DistressedDamsel::run(); don't 
know whether C# can do that though. Maybe, maybe not. I'd just make a 
guess that Java can't do it.

A factor of 3x compared to what is probably the fastest 
more-or-less-high level language doesn't sound that bad to me, given how 
much easier it is to program anything serious in it. (You don't want to 
write a GUI program in C, do you?! You'd at least want C++)

Ever heard of JIT-compilers?

All you need to do is mark the corresponding classes as not-yet-compiled 
again.
