When encoding a script for the bytecode cache in incremental mode, we currently transcode the ScriptSource in the initial encoding. This work is done on main-thread, during page load.

Another consequence, is that since this is so early, there is rarely a chance for source compression to have taken effect (which the transcoder supports) and we end up with larger cache files and more time in IPC and I/O.

Since the incremental encoder is associated with a ScriptSource, it will still always be available to us during the linearize step. We can instead perform the encoding of scriptsource here which has numerous benefits.

  • ScriptSources have more opportunities to compress
  • Duplicate copies of source aren't kept in memory during page load
  • If encoding is aborted before saved to cache, the scriptsource encoding is also avoided.

Instead of transcoding the ScriptSource immediately when the
incremental-encoder is started, we should defer until the 'linearize' step
which still has access to the ScriptSource. This moves work from page-load to
idle, and gives the GC a chance to compress the source and reduce XDR size
(and thus IPC and I/O time).

After some experimentation, it seems that source compression still occurs much later. Regardless, I think the patches will simply some code and more work out of page load, so I'll clean them up for review.
