Since the compilation of an OWBasic program takes not very few time, OWBasic is able to save the compiled program to the SHARED file. If the program is started later, OWBasic first searches the SHARED file for a precompilation of the program.
ATTENTION: OWBasic does not search in the SHARED file unless the setting "Caching" in "OWBasic Settings" is enabled!

The tool "SHAREDCleaner" included in the OWBasic Standard Library is able to delete entries from the SHARED file. It can be used to remove precompilations of programs.
