The faster the CPU, the less you care about CPU speed as opposed to I/O.

Actually, the byte-compiler won't make any difference on Eric's code, where
as Kevin's code will probably benefit more, although I doubt the differences
will be noticeable since most of the time is probably spent in
`file-executable-p'.
