These numbers seem to be pretty consistent on Blink-based browsers (Chrome and Opera) but are more like 20% to 50% improvements on FireFox, Safari, and IE. I am not sure how to explain that, so take these numbers more as an indicator of “Elm is generating faster code across the board” as opposed to “Elm is 10x faster!”
