Cheers Matt, I expected it to be faster because its speed is talked about on the GH page:
https://github.com/fpirsch/twin-bcrypt I'm just coming into the Node world and didn't know about asm.js not being supported in V8. I asked the author of that repo directly and he filled me in on what you mentioned: https://github.com/fpirsch/twin-bcrypt/issues/1 Of course being slow is a good thing with BCrypt, but given two modules that do the same thing, you want to be running the fastest one, surely?
