Hi--

     Now that I can fork dynamic Web Workers from SqueakJS, here are
some benchmark results. The test: What's the highest Fibonacci number
you can calculate in one second? Each result is that number, and then
how much slower the system is at calculating the highest numbers
obtained by faster systems. "JS" refers to a Web Worker forked by
SqueakJS, "ST" refers to running the test in Smalltalk in SqueakJS. The
laptop is a 2017 MBP 13", and the mobile device is an iPhone SE.

     laptop macOS ST (native, Cog not Spur): 40, baseline
     laptop Chrome JS: 34, 17x macOS
     mobile Safari JS: 33, 1.5x laptop Chrome JS
     laptop Chrome ST: 29, 12x laptop Chrome JS, 8x mobile Safari JS
     mobile Safari ST: 24, 22x mobile Safari JS, 3x laptop Chrome ST
