I think you might be misunderstanding what this post is about.

That version of Doom is not running on Electron directly. It is running on v86, which is a x86 WASM emulator, so essentially the entire graphics stack of the game and the entire OS its running in is emulated.

The resulting performance characteristics have absolutely nothing to do with a normal Electron app.

> When we talk about efficiency of (other) electron apps made for productive use

Other electron apps for productive use is what the post is specifically NOT about. I find it higly irritating, when comments like yours are used to inject the never-ending and frankly tiring Electron-performance discussion into anything Electron related, drowning out discussion that would actually relevant and on topic.
