Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK the encoder stores the script in "a
closed Zend Intermediate Code format" (quotes from zend.com)

Isn't that the same as compiling it? According to it's description, the Zend
Cache system compiles the script into "a closed Zend Intermediate Code
format" and stores this in cache, thereby saving compiler cpu ressources
each time the script is accessed.

So the encoder makes your scripts faster because they are already compiled.
