You've already got the standard answers, hopefully that will do
what you need to do.

The other way is to dig into the import mechanics, paying
particular attention to how it unfreezes frozen modules,
and then arrange to decrypt your encrypted pre-compiled
modules when they have to be imported.

That's a *lot* of hassle, and I don't know of anyone
who's actually done it. Whether the work is worth
the benefit is, of course, your decision.
