Trim down the wasm deploy size #47

Open sophiajt opened 4 years ago

Looks like there are some tips here: https://rustwasm.github.io/book/reference/code-size.html

For how we might be able to optimize the code size of the wasm we transmit.

This means that if you're using instantiateStreaming the second the Web request is done the WebAssembly module is probably ready to go.

That sounds interesting - faster load time without optimizing the file itself.

Now that I've looked around: As far as I can tell, webpack already makes use of that: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/7144/files

Otherwise, they mention setting opt-level = 's', which we already have in place. I justed tested adding lto = true - that increased the size of pkg/wasm_nu_bg.wasm by about 9kb.

Actually profiling the size might yield more insight what can be optimized, but that's too far outside my zone: https://rustwasm.github.io/book/reference/code-size.html#the-twiggy-code-size-profiler
