The sole purpose of the p-file format is to disallow reverse engineering.

pcode is encrypted using AES encryption, using a key only
known to Mathworks, so only Mathworks could convert it back.
*Possibly* you could hire them to convert the code for you,
but I would not expect it to be inexpensive, and they would
probably want hard proofs that you had the legal right to
the source code.

Look in the file exchange, and search for "Fingerprint"
several entries there with quite a high star rating - so
presumably they are relatively good.

Actually that's not technically true, but it's a definite side-benefit.
The other purpose is to speed up code execution since the Matlab
parser does not need to parse the m-file before executing the contents.
This is (or at least used to be) noticeable especially with GUIs.

Actually, actually, the sole purpose of P-files in R2007b
and onwards is protection of intellectual property. Using
P-files has no noticable effect on startup.
