From the keyboard of chung@cis.ohio-state.edu (Michael Chung):
:	Is there any way I can compile a shell script file so that it can
:run faster?

Not significantly.  The problem is that even if you compile something 
like:

    while read line; do
	echo `echo $line | tr ' ' '\12' | sort -n | tr '\12' ' '`
    done

It's still too damn slow.  You have to grok the logic and 
rewrite.  It needs a human.
