If you convert it back to javascript for V8, then anyone else could do the same so you won't have really gained anything- no performance, because you're giving V8 js anyway and no code protection, because anyone can take your code and use it to convert the binary to javascript themselves.
It seems to me like the only way this could work is if you could get V8 to accept and run something other than JavaScript. Not sure if it's possible to give V8 bytecode for execution instead of Javascript? Maybe you could fork V8 and use a custom implementation with your packages? Converting JavaScript to a self-contained, small, native binary would be very cool, but quite a bit of a project, obviously. Doing something like including the whole V8 in the binary would not be very useful.
