Hi,

It looks like yes. What you should have in mind is that Compile does 
transform Mathematica code to something else (with CompilationTarget -> 
"C" to C). The speedup depends a lot on how well optimized the generated 
code is. I think the general rule is that constructs which are less 
general and easier to analyze will be easier to optimize and thus have a 
greater chance to be translated to something efficient.

As we don't know which transformation rules the code generator uses, it 
will always need some experimenting, though.

hth,
