So the reason you can't make it faster than JavaScript by multi-threading it is... because of JavaScript? :-)

I had a look at your profile and it looks like you're doing some very valuable work. I was rather hoping for some examples which didn't involve JavaScript, though.

It used to be that almost all PC games were single threaded. Many still are: Civilization 4, Dwarf Fortress, and Morrowind, for example.
