Add here, because Olivier's description skipped one or two years in history
between the sentences.
When it was originally developed, the QtScript engine was state-of-the-art and
was faster than almost any JavaScript implementation that we could get our
hands on, specifically Mozilla's SpiderMonkey and KDE / WebKit's KJS (they
hadn't diverged much yet). IIRC, the only areas where Roberto didn't manage to
get better performance was where Qt compatibility was required, for example in
the use of QString.
