That will enable you to skip the C++ compilation, but Faust still does a
lot of stuff behind the scenes, rewriting expressions to normal form,
optimizing code, etc. I found that Faust itself can take seconds to
compile a source with no more than a few dozen lines. That has improved
a lot during the 0.9.9.x series, but still...

But I agree with Kjetil that having an interactive interface via snd
would still be useful. Who cares if it takes a few seconds after editing
the source until you can actually use the component? It's not as if we
want to use Faust for live coding on the stage, do we? ;-)
