CFCOMPILE - Precompiling ColdFusion pages & Sourceless distribution

I see that pre-compiling pages to java classes will increase performance, while using the -deploy command will encode the pages to java bytecode, thus hiding the source code.

Questions:

Can both of the above be done? Pre-compiling the application, then encoding them?

Is updating sourceless pages & cfc's as simple as encoding the newly updated files locally, then overwrite the older ones on the server?

Thank you for your contributions.

It's worth noting that byte code won't 'secure' your code if someone gets onto your server. There is nothing to stop someone from decompiling your code using tools like this.

There is offical Adobe info here on sourceless distribution but I haven't tried it. Remember, the compile hit if only on the first request (provided you have your CF admin setting correct) so the boost isn't for every request.

I'd also prefer to 'secure' my source code in other ways, i.e. making sure the server is secure.
