Bytecode caching

This optimization is applicable only to Metro style apps built using HTML and JavaScript.
Bytecode caching is a technique in which the system creates bytecode for each JavaScript file once, rather than recreating the bytecode each time it launches the app.
To ensure that your app benefits from bytecode caching:

Ensure all JavaScript files are UTF8 encoded with a byte-order mark (BOM)
Ensure all JavaScript files are statically referenced in the root of your HTML start page
