Integer, bitwise and pixel-processing JavaScript runs a lot faster, and the browser still proves every shortcut before it trusts it
This release speeds up the arithmetic-heavy JavaScript that sits under graphics, hashing, checksums, random-number generators and data crunching. When a hot loop works in whole numbers, Floati now keeps those numbers in the processor's own integer registers instead of shuttling them through slower floating-point form and back on every step, so bit-twiddling and integer maths finish several times sooner. Loops that write into image and audio buffers (the typed arrays behind canvas pixels, sound samples and binary data) now store each element with a single machine instruction rather than a helper call, so filters and transforms over big buffers run much faster. As always the speed is proven: before the browser trusts any of these shortcuts an independent checker confirms the fast result is identical to the slow one, so nothing about how a page behaves changes, only how quickly it finishes. It all runs on your device.
