Err... no. It certainly WILL compile entire file - chunks are always read and compiled completely and returned to reader and only THEN reader runs resulting code, performs check and bails out of it with return. So the only thing you're saving is object/function/closures instantiation and any run time that might be spent on any heavy loops if you have some bulk processing in your locale files.
