Of course, pre-tokenizing your code does give you an added measure of security, since code could be protected and passwords could be stored securely.
That's a bold statement. Are you sure?

Tokenizing code is simply pre-parsing the script text so that it is in a condensed and efficient form.

This will make load times smaller because the script will be smaller and will not require the parse stage when files are loaded.

This will not make the script secure as
  • String constants such as passwords will be in plain text and therefore readable
  • Writing a "reverse-tokenizer" is trivial - most people on this list could create one in a day with little difficulty
I wouldn't want people to get a false impression that tokenizing is in any way a secure method of protecting code or passwords.

Unless of course there is more to the 4.5 SDK than you have mentioned...
