A bit more resource-heavy, but apparently acceptable for a wide range of apps.
I agree that "extending" is a better choice here, but beyond the performance gains by moving "low level binary data processing" to JavaScript (would be nice if someone hasd time to post some apples-to-apples comparisons), what I find most interesting in these discussions is that most of the interest expressed thus far has been for UI elements, something previously seen as LC's sweet spot.
