I went ahead and asked the TBB support folks. I'm told that "some people complained that it was orders of magnitude slower", and also that "there was evidence that the NSA and the GCHQ used JS type inference and asm.js speedups to exploit firefox, we're not sure if these are both needed for the JIT, or if the JIT enables some other type inference codepath". GeKo says that "there are no plans to revert these yet". So, I'm going to review feature/torbrowser-24.5.0esr-1+tails1 and merge it as-is, ignoring this topic for now. I've asked on Tor#9387 for the TBB team's plans regarding this, added anonym to the Cc list for this ticket and assigned #7127 to anonym.
