> TLDR: it's asm.js's fault.

> In order to meet our performance goals for fast asm.js validation and startup, the WebAssembly engine does not do up-front compilation of Wasm code coming from asm.js.

It sounds like the fault is how you reached your performance goals rather than asm.js itself.

The properties of asm.js make it inherently less efficient than Wasm.


It's very obvious from context the reference is to the asm.js implementation in V8, I'm not sure how you could read it otherwise ("strongest plausible interpretation" and all that).
