While the DOM may always be slow, faster JS (ie. wasm) can provide faster calculations in pure javascript land and better efficiency (better memory management, similar to c++/native stacks).

This is useful for optimizing DOM usage, such as using a virtual dom to avoid excessive real DOM access.

So while it does not attack the bottle necks directly, it will increase the overal perceivable performance of a webapp.
