Honestly, I’m fine with only some speed up compared to V8, it’s already pretty fast… My issue with desktop/mobile apps using web tech (JS) is mostly the install size and RAM hunger.

[raises hand] I'd be fine with no speedup at all if I can get more reasonable RAM usage and an easily linkable .so out of the deal.

The "node" binary on my laptop is 45MB in size. I guess the browser component may take more disk space than JS runtime. Similarly, I am not sure whether JS runtime or webpage rendering takes more RAM. If it is the latter, an AOT compiler won't help much.
