IMHO this would make handling YCP code _much_ easier. I have no clue just how much the overall performance gain due to byte code is at all. It saves a syntax check for the byte-compiled code. Loops might be faster. But we don't byte-compile everything anyway, just modules (those that can be imported). So exactly how big is the performance difference? Is it worth all the hassle we have with the .ybc files? (Just think about build order etc.) Maybe a topic for the upcoming YaST2 workshop. CU -- Stefan Hundhammer <sh@suse.de> Penguin by conviction.
