I generally also type code in a file and use C-x C-e if I need to get
an immediate feedback.  However, native performance can be useful in
order (say) to perform interactive data analysis and use pure ocaml
libraries (as opposed to C wrappers).  Data analysis requires some
kind of fast feeback because you generally only discover what you want
to do during the analysis itself...
