Could someone explain how Edge is performing so well or any references to what they have done in this regard? Has the Edge team already implemented this streaming and tiering compiler technique?

You tell Edge, "compile this", Edge replies "done!" when what it has done is just verifying it's valid WASM. When you then call a function, it's compiled.

So it is actually sad. It means you just downloaded a lot of stuff and only used a fraction of it.
