It's much faster with recompilation than without, but I agree that it's slower than expected (compared to, for example, qemu-tcg).

There is still room for improvements (e.g. eflags updates, 16-bit instructions, call/ret optimisations, main loop), but part of the problem is limitations of web assembly (no mmap, only structured control flow) and browser engines (memory blow up on large generated wasm modules, related to control flow).

The webvm folks explain the control flow problem quite well, and seem to be doing a better job than v86: https://medium.com/leaningtech/extreme-webassembly-1-pushing...

v86 running in v86 (the inner one is running in node): https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=archlinux&c=./v86-in-v86.js

As well as most BSDs and Linuxes, as long as they still have i686 support.

I'm not sure what exactly cheerps is used for; v86 is mostly used to demo operating systems (mostly hobby and vintage). We recently got SerenityOS to run: http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=serenity
