Comment on Wasmi v0.32: WebAssembly interpreter is now faster than everparent

Comments

Do you have a good metric for where the break even point is? Some X-million instructions?

No I do not but it is a very interesting question and probably not even answerable in practice because not every instruction takes the same amount of time to execute to completion. An outlier in this regard are for example host function calls which could do arbitrary things on the host side or bulk-memory operations which scale linearly with their inputs etc.
