Wow. So V8 actually back to optimizing the entire bytecode region in one fell swoop?

I had thought that such V8 optimization were still occuring (as of Chrome Blink81/SparkPlug) during JavaScript execution of untouched bytecode as a form of overhead reduction of its startup.

I don't know what V8 actually does, but one possible strategy is to have a pair of RW and RX mappings to the same physical pages (or just keep flipping permissions between the two)
