I think what he is saying is that your work is in vain because it doesn't increase performance by 10x or more and that such small increases are nice but not nice enough to make it worthwhile to use javascript.

Right, and no software will ever migrate to the Web, because its 5-10 times slower than native. Who's gonna use it, right? Case closed. Except its not.

  Just because I tried to explain the point doesn't mean I believe the point.

    Sorry, I must have written it in affect. Either that or I replied to wrong post. Is there a way to delete that reply?

The 5-10x difference mentioned is the difference in raw hardware speed between mobile CPUs and desktop CPUs, not a reference to JS speed vs native speed. JS speed as compared to native depends heavily on the nature of the code being executed, how type-stable it is, how polymorphic it is, what its allocation behaviour is like, and a number of other factors.
