Oh yes! EXECLOAD simply loads a file into storage. If you display
memory, you'll see the source (compiled or non-compiled data directly
from your file) ... and that's what is interpreted when you run the
non-compiled EXEC or run directly from a compiled EXEC.
If you see a performance benefit from compile, it will still be there if
EXECLOADed. A non-compiled EXEC must still be interpreted, even if
EXECLOADed.

Is there any performance benefit to compiling a REXX EXEC if it will
be EXECLOAD'd for the lifetime of it's use?
For example, I have a service machine which, upon startup, EXECLOADs
some EXECs it needs over and over. It/they remain EXECLOADd until the
service machine is shutdown. The EXEC is not particularly
complex/large, but does compiling it actually make any difference?
Does EXECLOAD tokenize/optimize the EXEC if it's not compiled?
Thank you,
