Not sure, it could also be viewed as a comparison of ahead-of-time compilation vs. just-in-time compilation (I guess the code paths are hot enough to be completely "jit-ed" here), and then the compiler isnt irrelevant at all.

But havent looked into the details on how much difference that alone makes in this case.

I think its also a testament on how fast JS has gotten.
