The irony for me is that it's already slow because of the lack of native 64-bit math. I don't care about the memory space available nearly as much.

Eh? I'm pretty sure it's had 64-bit math for awhile -- i64.add, etc.

They might have meant lack of true 64bit pointers ..? IIRC the chrome wasm runtime used tagged pointers. That comes with an access cost of having to mask off the top bits. I always assumed that was the reason for the 32bit specification in v1
