When snapshot is enabled, it "bundles" a clean v8 vm context with a lot of already compiled JavaScript and whatnot. This allows for faster startup and faster creation of additional vm contexts. Specifically from the v8 Embedder's Guide [1]: "With the V8 snapshot feature (activated with build option snapshot=yes, which is the default) the time spent creating the first context will be highly optimized as a snapshot includes a serialized heap which contains already compiled code for the built-in JavaScript code."
