Compiled "C" doesn't require the perl interpreter, every flippin time it wants to do somethin.. It's faster, BUT, let's say ubb was compiled c, there probably would not be any hacks. You'd need the source code, before it was compiled, add the hack, then compile it again..
(I think I got that right, feel free to correct.., anyone remember basic..LOL)
