Depends on the system, in WPF the XAML is encoded into a binary form of

Surely we want to have both. I'm thinking when you're developing you
don't want to recompile you're application if you can avoid it just when
the GUI is changed.
Well, that depends, if it comes down to a trade off between program
execution speed vs. compile speed, i'll pick program execution speed.
Right now, I know of no UI toolkit that lets you redesign without
recompiling, so i'd say that should be a secondary priority.
