au3 script vs compiled exe??

[DarkFingers1337]

Hey,

I've been using autoit for years now and I totally love it. But we don't have nice GUI design features like for example C#... so I'm trying to switch to run my scripts from the command line and just pass what I need as arguments instead of dealing with FD.exe or blindly modifying my GUI in scite whenever I want to add a new feature. who needs GUIs anyway, right??  So my question is, are there any drawbacks if I run my uncompiled scripts like this > AutoIt3.exe myScript.au3 rather than running the compiled .exe? ... I also noticed that au3 doesn't seem to compile the script but just run it... so I'm concerned about possible memory problems/performance issues etc.

TL;DR are there any drawbacks if I run the uncompiled scripts from the command line versus running the compiled .exe?

 

Thanks and Peace!
