I highly recommend you take a look at PNaCl: portable LLVM binaries run in the NaCl sandbox. Since LLVM bitcode can be JITed (or even offline compiled before execution), you would be looking at optimized code for whichever target you're running on. Very exciting stuff.

Which requires that people use Chrome, running a web-browser to run native code that gets JITed from bitcode... at that point, why not just pull the blocks from the Jenga tower and run native code on your processor through an executable file loaded by an operating system?

Because installing software sucks, this is auto-updated by default and will always be optimized for your processor.
