It'd be interesting to get a true measure of the performance opportunities from WASM.

Every app has performance opportunities, but they usually not quite related to the raw performance of the language, usually, it's loading and backend latency.

People don't realize that V8 is really, really fast and always getting faster, and that WASM was never really super fast.

As V8 gets faster the delta opportunity for WASM is reduced at least in terms of raw, algorithmic performance.
