I hardly think that the machine-code is interpreted. The reason to why it
might be a bit "slow" is because there's some overhead before the actual
execution begin. ..or so I think.


I recall you mentioning that U4IA++ will feature inline asm, will it be
using Intel syntax or that dreaded AT&T syntax ?
Also, will it be possible to access variables (at least integers and atoms)
directly through asm code ?

Example:

integer i
atom j

asm procedure whatever()
  mov eax,i
  fldz
  fstp qword ptr [j]
end procedure


(I don't know how you plan to incorporate assembly code but I hope you see
what I'm after.)
