I'm not sure I really understand what you mean...? Basically, the cache system takes all the .lua files (or at least tries to, there are a few edge cases where it doesn't), byte-compile them, and puts them all in one unique file. To go in the same direction, more things could be added in the format, (which is kind of "byte-compiled TeX"), creating a custom one, but interaction between TeX and Lua in the format is something that hasn't really been worked on enough for this solution to be viable... I tried to do something like that a few years ago, but didn't finish because there were a few bugs in the LuaTeX engine (they have since been fixed). That would be very helpful to many people, not just Gregorio users, but that's a lot of work...
