Because I prefer suitably-signed bytecode, which would usually only need the key verification, but no compile step. But you've just suggested decompiling and recompiling the bytecode in order to verify it. This can't possibly be faster than just compiling it.

This is not what I said and also irrelevant, since it will only happen once on untrusted bytecode. Afterwards it is trusted and stored together with a keyed digest for later verification.
