AFAIK the pico does not use a dedicated arithmetic unit like other processors,
but instead uses optimised software routines. So the interpreter and compiled version
probably execute the same underlying stuff, as opposed to a compiler's code accessing a arithmetic/logic unit. The times are slow compared to a more usual processor.
Even crappy laptops are pushing teraflops now.
