Depends on the language and the way code is written. Actually if you can run the code locally, getting things to compile is a bottleneck in Java especially for constructor juggling. Once code compiles, iterations do the rest. Iterations are better done by hand I think, we can get feedback on the code while keeping things fresh in our heads. For critical stuff where coding = thinking, its just faster to code.
