I should have mentioned this aspect, sorry. After some discussion, this was
added to asm.js several months back,

http://discourse.specifiction.org/t/request-for-comments-switching-resizing-heaps-in-asm-js/641/18

so enabling this does *not* disable full asm.js speed. In other words,
asm.js supports changing the heap size, and emscripten now allows that by
default.
