Gerry already gave a complete and accurate answer to the status of
this project in comparison to PyPy and pyjamas. Regarding performance,
this hack is not currently fast, primarily because the code is not
optimized yet.

But through a combination of optimizations on the side of Emscripten
(getting all LLVM optimizations to work when compiling to JS) and on
the side of the browsers (optimizing accesses on typed arrays in JS,
etc.), then I hope the code will eventually run quite fast, even
comparably to C.
