Compile your JS code: New Bytenode support for Electron
It doesn't appear that there is any performance penalty to using Bytenode. There are some benchmark functions in the repository, but certainly more work could be done to test. My gut feeling is that the minor overhead of loading the binary is balanced out by the minor speed increase by giving V8 a pre-compiled file.

Hide source code
There's an NPM package called bytenode which compiles your JavaScript to V8 bytecode.

Compile your JS code: New Bytenode support for Electron
What are you thoughts on https://github.com/sleeyax/asarmor? My thinking is I could use bytenode to protect my business logic and use asarmor to make the resulting asar non-trivial to uncompress, giving my renderer some kind of "protection" but without requiring me to turn off context isolation or enable nodeIntegration.

Hide source code
The simplest way to have some kind of source code protection is to package into an asar file and use asarmour to make it non trivial to extract the archive. https://github.com/sleeyax/asarmor
