> I honestly don't know any daily workload that requires short time bursts. JavaScript.

  Why does JavaScript require short time bursts? In fact I don't see at all how a LANGUAGE requires short time bursts. that's way to generic. Some applications written in JS might require short time burst performance.

    The standard use of JS when loading www pages in a browser scales nearly perfectly with frequency during short single-threaded bursts.

      I doubt this. Web pages are bottle necked by network latency and throughput. My phone for example is just as snappy loading websites then my desktop. In fact to be sure I just tested loading reddit(A bloated JS heavy site) twice. One with my CPU with turbo boost and one time with my CPU without turbo boost. Chrome reports a load time of about 3.98 seconds with turbo boost and 4.01 with turbo boost. The dominating factor according to the performance tab is just http requests. I don't see how 30ms of less load time is significant. And that is with one of the bloatest JS sites in use today.

        Is reddit actually JS-heavy? On my work desktop with Chromium, loading facebook.com takes me 7.2s with 4.7s of that being scripting. If I throttle the CPU to a 4x slowdown in Chromium devtools it takes 46.2s with 42.4s of that being scripting. (Only a single run of each.) Unfortunately in the middle of some work stuff so I don't want to reboot to toggle off turbo boost to test.
