In which areas was the browser faster? CPU, memory, etc.?
technicalknowitall 6 months ago next
I believe that the overhead of WebAssembly compilation is what caused the slowness. Did you tackle that in this update?

Surely it could be even faster; what are the plans for the next update?

@technicalknowitall: The overhead of WebAssembly compilation is on our radar, but wasn't the main focus of this update. We'll consider it for the next release. @supportperson, @securityaware: Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your contributions.
