Comment #62 on issue 2599 by impinball: Implement "use asm"
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2599
Currently, asm.js is being used as a testing ground for V8's new, currently
experimental compiler TurboFan. We are working on optimizing for it in the
new engine, but after we are satisfied with asm.js, it is intended to
eventually fully replace our current compiler Crankshaft. Long story short,
we feel that performance optimizations of any kind shouldn't be just
limited to a single subset of JS. It'll result in faster code across the
board.
I will say this much about its status: since it is experimental and still
highly unstable, don't expect it to land in stable Chrome in the immediate
future. And when it does, it will initially be limited to asm.js.
#59: asm.js will be at least extremely close it's stable. After TurboFan is
applied to everything, you'll see a massive speed jump in Chrome and Node
both.
