I have been experimenting with the emscripten C to JavaScript compiler.  I have used it to compile the Gambit interpreter into JavaScript.  This allows the Gambit interpreter to run in the browser!  Just direct your browser to<br>

Be patient... it can take 30 seconds to a minute to load the page (there&#39;s about 11 MB of JavaScript code). </blockquote><div><br></div><div>gzip -9 brings the 11.2MB to 1.88MB which is really fair.</div><div><br></div>


<div>The <a href="http://feeley.github.io" target="_blank">feeley.github.io</a> server has automatic gzip (-6?) compression enabled already so what&#39;s transfered currently is 2.6MB. Download time seems to be ~1.5s so the server probably cached the compressed content, so all that is not a bottleneck.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Then, probably what takes the most time here is the web browser JS parsing. Probably browsers will improve this, with the advent of asm.js and alike.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe if doing emscripten compilation with ASM_JS as target configuration and running on Firefox nightly that includes asm.js now, the parse/initialization time would go down alot already.</div>

 Use a fast JIT based browser if possible (Firefox or Chrome have been tested).<br>
