     I just recently purchased CompileIt, but haven't used it extensively yet.
I did run their demo which is a HT function that does square roots.  You
compile it.  It worked much as they claim (e.g., the function in HT takes 2-3
seconds on SQRT(1000), whereas when it is compiled, it is almost instantaneous.
It appears to have become an XFCN, but I didn't actually check with ResEdit.
The original function is only about a dozen lines and it took 13 minutes to
compile, so you will spend some time waiting.
