Lawrence Kesteloot wondered if a Basic compiler could fit in the same space as a Basic interpreter, and found it could. The project is written in C, so it's doubly surprising (to me.) The Basic does lack some features - crucially it lacks strings - but it's described as 5x to 30x the speed of the interpreter it replaces.

(It's open source too.)
