Google recently released a benchmark suite called Octane 2.0 which includes
one Asm.JS test (the zlib one). On my computer the results on that test are:
Firefox (which have Asm.JS support): 35788
Chrome (Without Asm.JS support): 12147
So pretty good optimisations are made. Overall however Chrome beats Firefox.
