When I profile the (excruciatingly slow) demo website

(EDIT: WARNING that link crashes Firefox on my phone)

https://superdash.flutter.dev/

it sure looks like there are parts of the Dart VM in the call stack. Maybe I should have said Dart runtime?

But anyway, the dart example app stutters on my Android phone and the website stutters on my quad-core laptop with a mobile 3080. And it's basically just tappy chicken, so a simple 2D side scroller.

Not my comment, but relevant here "The problem with compiling Skia to WASM is you'll lose any benefits of hardware graphics acceleration on the device."

These examples for the flutter rpg game engine seem to run great on my old pixel 3, under the hamburger menu > mini games:

That "map by tiled" example feels like 10 fps on my Firefox mobile. It's significantly better than the official Flutter demo game, but significantly worse than a pure JS framework.
