It is probably faster to compiler from bytecode. However, when
compiling from source you also have the option of compiling many
files at once:
 gcj -c -o foo-package.o foo.class1.java foo/class2.java ....
This should be substantially faster than calling the compiler
many times. (In principle one coud do the same for compiling
.class files, but that isn't suppored yet.) Doing this can
also improve the generate code in minor ways.

Yes. Various optimizations work better when compiling from
source.
