did visual basic 6 have native code or interpreted compiler

[BirdDad]

also did visual C++ 6 have native code?
I don't want to use .net as it is interpreted code

Both VB 6 and Visual C++ 6 generate native code.

May I ask what you're writing that you're so concerned about speed?

Who told you that? Native code will be produced by the JIT compiler at run time - this has the advantage that specific optimizations may be done depending on the currently running target as well as hot spots observed in the running code. Also, you can produce completely native code in visual c++ 2k3/2k5, here's no need to write managed/.NET code unless you want.
