Comment on Performance of WebAssembly Runtimes in 2026

Comments

We have some more comprehensive benchmarks at https://r-carissimi.github.io/wasure/, with fairly different results.

libsodium is very numeric operation heavy IIRC

What are the numbers in that table? Is higher better or is higher worse? How does fully native C compare? What options are you using?

Was there a sign saying “beware of the leopard”?
