That's the first sentence on the GH page. It seems they decided to mix marketing in first.
- imtringued 4y agoAnd faster than "native" means faster than userspace... And by faster they mean IO performance which is fine in principle but generally people think about compute when they care about the performance overhead of WASM because there is nothing about it that should make IO slower than native but everything about it makes compute slower than natively compiled programs.

- dahfizz 4y agoI would love to see an actually fair comparison, where the native implementation uses io_uring and huge pages.
