I'd be interested to see how current-day WASM stacks up against current-day Java. Don't suppose you've ported your crypto code to Java? Other than the maturity of the JIT compilers, are there reasons we should expect WASM to be any slower?

In some ways it should be faster because it isn't garbage-collected. But I agree that would be a much better benchmark for what should be possible.
