Absolutely! We have seen speedups of up to 2-3x. I'm happy to provide more technical details if you would like?

The implementation of these optimizations is crucial for real-world use cases-can you expand on that?

@js_guru To answer your question, we focused on code size and RUN-TIME optimizations mainly.

Thanks, @john_doe. I can imagine how much of a game changer this could be for big projects.
