Yeah in some ways the obfuscation and mappings are similar to minification and sourcemaps in javascript.

  And minification in JavaScript only reduces the amount of bytes that has to be sent over the wire, it doesn't improve runtime performance.

    According to the v8 devs it also can increase parsing performance > Our scanner can only do so much however. As a developer you can further improve parsing performance by increasing the information density of your programs. The easiest way to do so is by minifying your source code, stripping out unnecessary whitespace, and to avoid non-ASCII identifiers where possible. https://v8.dev/blog/scanner https://v8.dev/blog/scanner

      Sure, but that's also just in the category improving loading a bit. It doesn't have anything to do with runtime performance.
