CompileTime is the time when a Compiler compiles SourceCode. Optimisations at CompileTime to save time at RunTime is a very common approach, but relies on the necessary information being avaliable at CompileTime. InLining, for example, can be done at CompileTime because the necessary CallGraph information is avaliable.
