Gambas is not VB, and running a Gambas program in the IDE is the same as 
running it outside of the IDE.

I think that the Gambas interpreter is lower than the VB interpreter. But I 
couldn't have done a developmenent environment like Gambas IDE in VB. It 
would have been far too slow! So there is speed and speed. :-)

Do you have some number? I.e. some code and some time measurement?

Anyway, there is no plan to "wake up" Gambas at the moment. Maybe in Gambas 
3.0 or 4.0? :-)
