- Being within the same order of magnitude is pretty impressive IMO, especially before 6 years' worth of performance improvements.

Given that this paper is from so long ago, running new benchmarks on existing runtimes would be productive.

- A lot has changed since this was published, you can’t trust these numbers at all.
- True, that's from 2019. While benchmarks are rare, some actually claim near native speed
- To be fair these (and similar) claims were already made when WASM was new.
