point taken! :-)
My reply is: Self-modifying code should be forbidden by law, I really though we got over that about 20 years ago ;-)
And: Decoding bytecode is not necessary, if the byte code is precompiled code (like in JAVA or PHP, which uses precompiled "twostep" code to speed up things). Doing a full interpretation of plain text really will be the slower solution compared to bytecode. I wasn't only thinking of "encryption" here but also of safety, performance etc.
The more "data" has to be loaded the less CPU cache can be used to actually EXECUTE the code. I was used to calculate CPU cycles to make the best of my code, so again this may just be my (wrong) development background :-)
