That could be really useful to deploy on browsers without native WASM support. Can you give us an idea of the perfs though?

Since WASM is used for some performance intensive applications it would be useful to know how does this polyfill compare to native WASM /asm.js or regular js.

I have done a few benchmark but it's still too early to be relevant.

I want to take advantage of the optimization done by the JavaScript VM and asm.js in the future.
