It's weird that Apple says "The WebAssembly Community Group expected that parsing a bytecode would be more performant than parsing a text language. However, that turned out not to be true; Asm.js, which is JavaScript source, is still faster than WebAssembly for many use cases." and then links to a page that shows WebAssembly being 3x faster. Also the page they link to is not just measuring parse time but also compilation time.
