Faster than any one application needs. But virtually anything I do nowadays uses crypto on some level, and wasm isn't only proposed to be used for crypto either. Suddenly, my CPU has to do 2x to 7x the work for the same code, because we collectively decided that using electron and web stuff if the way to go for nearly every mainstream application? I don't think so, really.
WASM seems to me like some people are simply longing for the old days of flash. I don't see why I'd want it.
