I think speed optimized javascript is at 50% of regular non-SIMD 
C. Javascript suffers when you use high level constructs and 
convenience frameworks, but so does C++ (which is why people 
don't use them). It will probably take a long time for javascript 
to get proper cross browser SIMD support though...

When you get rid of IE9 the real bottleneck to combat is the C++ 
browser runtime, reflow and "random delays" etc.

Memory usage/performance are issues you can limit by using typed 
arrays/free lists. But the browser impose limitations on memory 
usage...
