How to run?

Install bytenode globally.

[sudo] npm install -g bytenode

Run slow-function.js file:

user@machine ~ $ bytenode -r slow-function.js
  slowFunction 3: 31.228ms
  slowFunction 4: 548.016ms
  slowFunction 5: 7353.032ms

or:

user@machine ~ $ node slow-function.js

Now, compile the file:

user@machine ~ $ bytenode -c slow-function.js

Then, run the compiled file slow-function.jsc:

user@machine ~ $ bytenode -r slow-function.jsc
  slowFunction 3: 30.332ms
  slowFunction 4: 547.613ms
  slowFunction 5: 7509.545ms

On both LTS and Stable versions of Node.js (v8.12.0 and v11.0.0 respectively), .jsc files have almost the same performance as plain .js files.
