Absolutely none at all. The time the interpreter takes to run through a
rather large program is just seconds. You can see it whip through the
program when you load the program in. Within seconds, the interpreter
goes idle, as it has processed all the primitives and put all the converted
messages into the buffer for the trajectory planner to work on. So, by the
time you get ready to hit the 'Run' key, the interpreter has already finished
with the program. It won't make any difference in the actual running time
of the programmed moves.
