Speed is Awesome, but Low Latency is Sublime

Explore the challenges of JavaScript performance on mobile devices in this JSConf EU 2013 talk by Hannes Payer. Delve into the importance of low latency over raw throughput for ensuring interactivity and responsiveness in large JavaScript applications. Learn about innovative techniques such as incremental marking, global preteen ring, and concurrent compilation to address worst-case scenarios. Examine benchmarks and results that demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches in achieving sublime low latency for mobile web applications.
