Description

We currently only pass bytecode through the ScriptEngine if it has a lambda, but it seems to make sense to do the same with bytecode that has Bindings as then caching will kick in and there should be a performance improvement when using parameters just as we get with scripts.

I've looked into ways to get the JavaTranslator to optimize based on Bindings but I think we've coded ourselves into a corner with there insofar as trying to make this enhancement without breaking changes. 3.4.0 might be the first chance to make fixes in this regard.
