Author here - thanks a lot! :) I think many of the emerging performance bottlenecks in webdev are on the client rather than the server, so there's definitely a lot more research that needs to be done here. In particular, I feel like the whole "web worker" angle has been seriously overlooked, even though the tech is ~5 years old.

I wonder how much of that stems from the fact that IE didn't support them until 10 and Safari til 8. I'm not sure about dates/numbers, but mobile browsers were pretty late in support too, weren't they?
