On: Speeding up Electron apps by using V8 snapshots in...

Is there an advantage to doing this versus using something like ncc to just package everything into a single js file with zero dependencies?

Let's say you're initializing a huge array on boot that takes 100ms. Packaging everything into a single .js file won't change that. Taking a snapshot of the state after boot and using that for subsequent boots will allow you to skip that.
