It is built on top of TECO, which you will recall as a language that is so terse that it looks like line noise. I don't think it's a very big stretch to compare it a byte code interpreter. I do not recall that the EMACS libraries that are loaded are not quite compiled. They have all the comments and unnecessary white space stripped out, which would, of course speed execution. gnuEmacs does a similar thing for the LISP code; it's still interpreted as I recall.
