Good point.  How does Euphoria 2.5 stack up against other interpreted languages?
(I don't count Java or C# because they are technically compiled into bytecode.)
Is it still faster than most versions of BASIC, which is its true competitor? 
How about Python?

How *do* 2.4 and previous versions handle the problem?  Do they execute a line
of code right after it has been parsed and then set a flag when all lines have
been parsed?  How does it work in the older versions and why couldn't it be
implemented in the Euphoria front end?
