I don't know either, but when repeating a simple macro over and over
again it took me long enough to wonder if native compilation would help.

(Specifically what I was doing was going through a text file that I
wanted to convert into HTML file by adding some fluff to each line.  The
file was over a megabyte of plain text so it took a while.  I guess it
would be faster to use pipe the buffer contents through AWK or something
similar).
