Yes, that exactly. Part of what made Turbo Pascal so fast was that it kept your entire program, and the compiler, in memory.
You had an option from the main menu to "compile" or "run", which included compiling, but NOT saving your edits first. You could save first, but on a floppy-based system, that could take a while.
I want to say that behavior changed in Turbo Pascal version 2, or 3?
