QuickStart Development

[Richard Kreiss]

Mark, 

You are correct in that there is no real speed benefit with today's hardware.   Ken has indicated this many time in the past.

But for developers distributing and application, only delivering tok tables doe protract ones work product.  Also, using a runtime license keeps or kept the cost down.  Most of my clients who ran my Textile Brokerage Program only got a runtime license.  These clients were notoriously frugal and every penny I could save them they appreciated.  

I would suggest that the eliminate references to the Quickstart and replace it with Compiled Runtime or something similar.  All this is, is a matter of semantics.
