Description

In the page, there is a paragraph which reads, Emscripten-compiled code can currently achieve approximately half the speed of a native build.

Since, Emscripten can compile the code to either WASM or asm.js, shall above statement be updated to clarify the ambiguity ?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the statement in the documentation titled 'Emscripten compiled code can currently achieve approximately half the speed of a native build.' and propose an update to clarify whether this refers to WebAssembly or asm.js, or update the statement to reflect current performance.
