Who is "we" and where I can see those benchmarks ?
Also even at similar performance you still need to download a bunch of extra stuff to even run the WASM version. My whole webpage takes less than it...
We is the sqlite team. i'm the "JS/WASM Guy" for the project.
> and where I can see those benchmarks ?
You can't currently because we don't have them in a user-consumable form. We've done a tremendous amount of benchmarking during the development because All The Speed was one of our design goals. However, all such records were in transient spreadsheets intended for one-shot note-taking use, not publication.
Once our documentation effort settles down, and responding to user feedback from the initial announcement slows down, i hope to implement a benchmarking application similar to:
Until then, however, you'll simply have to (A) take my word for it, (B) try it out yourself, or (C) none of the above, as you wish. Edit: or (D): we have a WASM port of sqlite's standard benchmarking tool, known as "speedtest1", in the sqlite source tree, but getting it up and running requires reading a good deal of documentation:
That tool is how we've benchmarked it so far, with the exception of comparing it to WebSQL, which required a custom application which is also in that directory (batch-runner.*). batch-runner, however, is in no way user friendly.
