Gambas executables aren't Linux binaries, they're compiled into 
pseudocode with #!env gbr2 (or something) at the top.  Unlike 
VB, what you're running in the IDE is the exact same code that 
you're running in production.

I've found that for some things VB is faster and for other things 
Gambas is faster.  I actually amazed one client with how much 
faster a Gambas reimplementation of one of their in-house VB 
programs was.
