But how large is this gap? I.e. 10%, 50%, 100% or 1000%. Size of this gap affects trade offs of using WASM vs native code a lot.
That said, from what I've read, it looks like starting up a new WASM instance is pretty fast, so some places are using it for when they need to spawn up tons of instances all at once, without having to wait for a whole process to warm up.
