JIT compilers at least do the work incrementally, profile the code to provide the best (or several) versions of native code, etc. That is, they adapt to the particular invocation, doing stuff an AOT compiler cannot do (especially for dynamic languages like JS).

I wonder if running the bundler on startup, and throwing away the (identical) result of a previous invocation of the bundler, makes much sense. It at least could persist it optionally, like Python does with .pyc files.
