There is no simple answer to this question. Some compilers compile fast, others compile slow, and generate highly efficient or inefficient code. The same applies to scripting languages (which would better be classified interpreted languages or interpreters to contrast compiled languages or compilers).

In today's languages and tools, the distinction between compiler and interpreter blurs. Most interpreters including compilation steps, for example to generate pre-compiled code and/or just-in-time compilation (e.g. Java and .NET languages). Other intermediate technologies exist.

Why single pass compiler are faster than multi pass compiler?

A one-pass compiler is a compiler that passes through the source code of each compilation unit only once. A multi-pass compiler is a type of compiler that processes the source code or abstract syntax tree of a program several times.A one-pass compilers is faster than multi-pass compilersA one-pass compiler has limited scope of passes but multi-pass compiler has wide scope of passes.Multi-pass compilers are sometimes called wide compilers where as one-pass compiler are sometimes called narrow compiler.Many programming languages cannot be represented with a single pass compilers, for example Pascal can be implemented with a single pass compiler where as languages like Java require a multi-pass compiler.

If the printer prints does the scripter scripts?
