Is Rails Haml precompiled or compiled on the fly on each request?

Question

So its quite simple my question, all I want to know is that. I want to try to see if using haml generated views adds overhead on each of my request and eventually dig deeper. Or maybe not because they are precompiled before deployment.

Thanks

Haml is very similar to erb - they're what are known as preprocessors; meaning that your app will process the file as it's rendered

Other than that, you may have to look at the Rails source to find out!!
