The Box3D compiled by Emscripten from C++ code is faster than 
other translations of Box3D to JavaScript written by more 
traditional means. Probably because the code produced by 
Emscripten is very un-idiomatic JS, hard to write manually.

And here we are talking about a version of Emscripten that 
targets asm.js, that a new JIT of Firefox Nightly digests better.
