Since none of the symbolic mathematical operations in Mathematica use even one floating-point operation, it is not going to make any difference for these. Plotting, NIntegrate, NDSolve may run faster in the expensive version because the Compile function works there. It would be interesting to get some recent timing data from someone with both versions. -- Richard J.
