Did you measure performance?  Byte-compiled code is about 2 times
faster.

If you are used to slightly slower operation, you will in time stop
paying attention to the slow-down.  E.g., I run an unoptimized build
of Emacs most of the time (due to better debugging opportunities), and
think it is fast enough -- until I fire up an optimized build and am
amazed by its speed.
