Comparison to native speeds is the key attraction of WASM. From the go.org blog published 10 days ago: https://go.dev/blog/wasi
"WebAssembly (Wasm) <https://webassembly.org/> is a binary instruction format originally designed for the web. It represents a standard that allows developers to run high-performance, low-level code directly in web browsers at near-native speeds." And from the front page of webassembly.org "The Wasm stack machine <https://webassembly.org/docs/semantics/> is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format <https://webassembly.org/docs/binary-encoding/>. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities <https://webassembly.org/docs/portability/#assumptions-for-efficient-execution> available on a wide range of platforms."
