Chrome Dev: WebAssembly.instantiate took 2254 ms (5.5 MB/s)

Firefox Nightly: WebAssembly.instantiate took 158.2 ms (78.3 MB/s)

Edge 41.16299.15.0: WebAssembly.instantiate took 99.2 ms (124.8 MB/s)

I did not expect Edge to be even faster.

As stated elsewhere in this thread, Edge compiles WebAssembly lazily, so it's basically skipping the test: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16170496

Is the runtime performance similar to the startup performance measurement?
