I ran the tests on my Nexus 5X running stock Android 8.1.

Chrome: WebAssembly.instantiate took 12935.5 ms (1 MB/s)

Firefox Nightly: WebAssembly.instantiate took 1223.1 ms (10.1 MB/s)

Yikes, one order of magnitude in difference.



Similar for me, a touch over 10x

FF: WebAssembly.instantiate took 280.3 ms (44.2 MB/s)

Chrome: WebAssembly.instantiate took 3022.4 ms (4.1 MB/s)


mine was even a bit more of a change.

Chrome: WebAssembly.instantiate took 13692.8 ms (0.9 MB/s)

Firefox: WebAssembly.instantiate took 330.8 ms (37.4 MB/s)


Safari 11.0.2: 4.7mb/s Chrome: 1.2mb/s

This is on MacOS 10.13.2. I'd love to run Firefox but the battery savings and reduced heat from using Safari makes it too hard to pass up in this regard.
