performance-wise, BigInts are terrible. Tried to use them, made things about a hundred times slower.

That's typical with most JS features, it takes some time for engine performance optimizations to catch up with them. In this particular case I suppose things are moving slower than expected, but with demand increasing prioritization will take place.
