> Compared with Linux containers, WebAssembly runtimes achieve higher performance with lower resource consumption.

I keep seeing this kind of statement, but is it actually true? Are there any good benchmarks around this?



WasmEdge contributor here. We had some last year.

Paper: A Lightweight Design for High-performance Serverless Computing, published on IEEE Software, Jan 2021. https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.07115

Article: Performance Analysis for Arm vs. x86 CPUs in the Cloud, published on infoQ.com, Jan 2021. https://www.infoq.com/articles/arm-vs-x86-cloud-performance/

Source code of test cases: https://github.com/second-state/wasm32-wasi-benchmark

See if these helps. (Kinda old so will be needing more updated ones)
