Then explain the "within X% of native" from the link. If this demo is strictly limited by the GPU, then why isn't it as fast as native, period?



The X% from the link is not about performance of the demo, but about performance of asm.js: "In less than 12 months, optimizations have increased the performance of Web applications using asm.js from 40% to within 67% of native, and we expect it to get even faster". To me such number doesn't mean much, it most likely refers to some micro benchmark that achieved 67% of native performance.
