4) Alternative implementations in JS suffer even in the presence of sophisticated JITing VMs from the fact that mathematics is done in doubles (in the case of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication) and by converting double -> int -> double (in the case of bitshifts and modulo division). This makes it both harder to implement a reliable PRNG and it makes it slow.
I would be interested in some specific data here. Do you have an example of a PRNG that is actually being slow?
