WebAssembly might be a big step towards improving that.

  It absolutely will. I've compiled like 30 projects to the web now and across the board I'm seeing 10x to 40x improvements in speed compared to idiomatic JavaScript. Here's one of the Benchmarks I ran: Native: 57.26 ms wasm Firefox: 143.35 ms asm.js Firefox: 162.43 ms asm.js Edge: 199.70 ms wasm Chrome: 223.80 ms asm.js Chrome: 268.60 ms JS Chrome: 2898.20 ms JS Edge: 3240.00 ms JS Firefox: 5558.88 ms

    When you say "speed" are you talking about startup (getting the page to a usable state) or crunchy ongoing work?

      Nah, I'm talking about running an algorithm.
