Having grown up in the 8-bit era with Apple IIs and C64s and various weird Z80 boxen, I can tell you for sure BASIC did not normally get compiled on those platforms. Tokenized, yes, but nothing more than that. Dartmouth had more to work with even in the 60's so it doesn't surprise me they wrote a static compiler for it, though it's still news to me.
