try it out and you'll never forget to re-compile:

(defun autocompile()
  "compile itself if ~/.emacs"
  (interactive)
  (if (string=3D (buffer-file-name) (concat default-directory ".emacs"))
      (byte-compile-file (buffer-file-name))))
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'autocompile())


> Besides, it's not worth your time you'll lose someday when you'll edit
> the non-compiled version, expect a change to happen, and you'll forget
> to re-compile it, and wonder why your change didn't have any effect
