Can Angelscript sources be compiled in an amalgamation form? SQLite can be built from sources in this form and it has performance advantages

As a script language is normally embedded into a larger host program, this form of compilation may be useful

I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could put all the code in a single source code file and compile that. Perhaps with a few minor tweaks here and there.

I'm skeptical to the actual advantages of this though. A good modern compiler should be able to do full program optimizations without all the code having to be placed in a single source code file.

If you think you would get any performance advantages by doing this then I suggest you give it a try. Make sure you measure the performance before and after so you can validate if it was actually worth it.

Should you do this I would be very interested in hearing the result of your tests.
