Thanks, I've read the source code now. It involves creating a new 
array, then copying the old array into the new one. And it 
probably needs the experimental Ecmascript 7 
ArrayBuffer.transfer() function to be fast. So clearly something 
that only can run when waiting for something (like between levels 
in a game).

Yes, not if the code is ASM.js, but still good even then.
