WASM Canvas Test

This is a small experiment to compare the differences in speed between WASM and JS when drawing items on a canvas.

On my personal machine, I was getting the full WASM page to load in about 250 ms, while the JS one was around 290 ms. Not a huge difference, and maybe I have subtle differences in the code that I'm not seeing, but I was surprised WASM beat it!

How to Test

  1. Run trunk build to get a dist folder
  2. Run npx simple-server dist to serve the WASM code folder
  3. Run npx simple-server . to serve the JS items
  4. Pull up each page
  5. Open the network tab
  6. Refresh and compare!
