> For example, the wasmedge website claims it is the fastest runtime but I notice that your comparison page doesnt mention runtime performance at all. It would be nice to know how much slower is wasmer in that respect.
The places where there are no differences between runtimes are not showcased in the shared page intentionally.
Runtime performance it's not hidden because Wasmer is slower, it's hidden because there should be little difference on runtime performance between both runtimes.
But just to be clear, Wasmer (when used with LLVM) should be as fast (if not faster) than WasmEdge on runtime performance.
As a random fact: Wasmer 3.0 uses zero-copy deserialization mechanisms that are not yet implemented by any other runtime. So I bet my horses that Wasmer running a pre-compiled Wasm module is not just at-level with WasmEdge but probably faster :)

Thanks Syrus - I think this is exactly why you should expand on the comparisons. A lot of users without your experience of the internals will be looking to these comparisons for information - being able to explain things like this would go a great way to clearing up misconceptions.

This is a great suggestion, actually.
