This cannot be simply explained.

Actually compilation make your code run faster in terms of processing.
However if you excel work involves stupid / inefficient design, compile
cannot help much. About portability (before making it add-in, xla file), if
you compile it, for other people to use it, they need Excel application as
well (i mean it cannot be run standalone like exe). It probably a good way
for you to check if you are doing all the variables right...

i think it is a necessary step for creating add-ins
