ZPE Performance Enhanced Cache (ZPEC)

The next version of ZPE, version 1.12.12, will introduce the new ZPE Performance Enhanced Cache (ZPEC). ZPEC will improve the performance of applications run through the -r ZAC by precompiling the application's bytecodes into a small file. The cached version will be stored in the ZPE folder as an unoptimised compiled program to make it as similar as the code it is based on.

The next time the program is run, ZPE will perform a cache lookup and, if the file exists, run it. If a cache miss occurs, it will compile and store the file in the cache and then run it.

It then performs some hashing to decide if the compiled program needs to be updated.
