Wow, we are breaking down the barriers to web application adoption for all
of our every day applications. The speed here will be so close to natively compiled code that it will not matter any more.

But, we still need some kind of a sandboxed VM so companies can push pre-compiled byte codes down do do things like file conversions locally when offline. I guess if JavaScript is this fast, then you could use it for importing an MS Office format file locally for instance, but, not everybody will want to make their code public or re-write it in JavaScript.

But, as FireFox is available on ALL platforms, we could see sites requiring FireFox for advanced features before long.
