It's actually hard to get smaller than compressed minified JS. Source code is actually a very excellent high-level, compact representation of program text.
The space optimizations in BinaryJS are to get us back down to the point where we are as good or better than minified compressed JS.
The main goal is to allow for much faster parse times, but to do that without compromising other things like compressed source size.
