Very much so. Just peruse the archive. We have a non-public and very quiet
list Rcpp-core for development of Rcpp -- as opposed 'developing with Rcpp'.

A package does that for you. Just how Rcpp itself contains compiled code. Or
any of the ~ 1250 packages on CRAN. Each compiled once, running as often as
you want thereafter.

Littler, another (CRAN) package of mine. I explained that a few lines
lower. If it still confuses you imagine you saw

$ Rscript -e 'Rcpp::sourceCpp("/tmp/mmsp.cpp")'
