I think Kevin said best back in August in a discussion of when to choose
LCS and LCB:
(snip)
Previously our primary choices were between LiveCode Script
and a lower level language such as C. Now we have a third
choice, an intermediate LiveCode Builder. Its much faster
[to develop in] than C but slower than Script. It is going
to excel at certain tasks. However we should always choose
to use it only when it offers clear advantages above
LiveCode Script for the project that outweigh the extra
level of effort needed to use it. I know its very tempting
having added a whole new language to build everything in
that, but we must carefully resist that temptation and use
it judiciously, only for what it is best at.

When Kevin states

[to develop in] than C but slower than Script. It is going

What about the performance speed of a LCB widget? O.K., it is more
difficult to *develop* the widget than a LCS-scripted custom control,
but would a widget *execute* much faster than a group as a custom control?
Would, for example, a matrix-convolve widget for image processing make
up for the serious speed loss we are experiencing especially with LC
versions 7.x and 8.x?
Kind regards,
