Yeah, WebAssembly should actually be slower in this exact scenario because of the additional indirection layer (calling into a WebAssembly module and pulling something out while converting the input and output value from/to a JS number, which is a wrapped double basically), while the comparison function in plain JS will simply be JITed to efficient machine code. |
