FWIW, the author did somewhat touch on the issue of performance at the end of the article: Of course speed is an issue here. Emscriptened benchmarks currently run at about 1/20th the speed of gcc -O0 run on the original C++. and goes on to explain where the performance loss comes from.

Not terribly useful as comparisons go. GWT likes to compare itself to hand-written JavaScript, which tells a more practical story.
