>This brings up the question - why market it as so much faster then?

Speed is somewhat the main selling point. It loses in most other metrics to node or deno. I think speed is a dumb thing to have as a main selling point too; nodejs/v8 are already quite fast, if I needed more speed I'd try to optimise it, before then rewriting it to rust. I want stability, soundness, features, a good toolchain etc.
