[00:00:00]Look, WebAssembly is amazing, but it's not a magic go-fast button for your entire website. If you're just moving a few DIV tags, adding WASM might actually make your app slower. Let's break down why the hype doesn't always match the reality. The biggest performance killer?

[00:00:17]The JS-to-WASM bridge. Every time data crosses that gap, there's a cost. If your task is tiny, the time spent crossing the bridge is longer than the work itself. It's like taking a private jet just across the street. But for heavy lifting, like video editing or physics engines, WASM is a beast. Here, the data flows into the processing engine, a control signal triggers the crunching, and complex transformations happen instantly. This is where WASM lives. Turn So, stop using WASM for simple UI logic. Save it for the heavy math, the games, and the complex simulations. Use the right tool for the job. Hope this cleared things up.
