This is quite impressive. I've never heard of WebVM/CheerpX before. I wonder how it compares to v86[0].

Hi, lead developer of CheerpX here. The main difference is about the level of performance we can reach thanks to our sophisticated JIT engine. Feel free to try running a payload yourself in v86 vs WebVM to see the difference.

My latest talk on the topic is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI7opIKW_z4

That was underwhelming, not much really said about the JIT other than "we do DCE".
