I wrote a thing in Rust, and got excited about being able to wasm-pack it and run it in a web frontend. In Firefox on my laptop it runs fast, it's like 2.5x slower in Chromium, which is still kinda OK. Then I tried it on my not-new-but-not-that-old tablet and IIRC it was something like 50x slower, which is not really OK.
Wasm SIMD supports only 128-bit registers, no? https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/blob/a78b98a6899c9e91a13095e560767af6e99d98fd/proposals/simd/SIMD.md
WAMR and it's different AoT preprocessing and execution modes could be even more efficient. ;)
