I have been reading the blog post by Frank Denis https://00f.net/2023/01/04/webassembly-benchmark-2023/ and try to understand the results. I have been able to build the benchmarks, but in my measurements iwasm from WAMR is consistently at least an order of magnitude slower than wasmtime. I have not been able to reproduce the results from this blog post. I have tried to get in touch with Frank, but he does not reply on twitter or to github issues.
Can someone explain?

Are you using iwasm in interpreted mode or with AOT?
The benchmarks were run as in the wasi-test-wrapper.sh
script, by running wamrc
first, and then iwasm
.
With a recent Zig version, so it has a current wasi-libc, and modules were then optimized by wasm-opt
. Bulk memory opts were turned on.
@Mats Brorsson You can download iwasm and wamrc from:
https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime/releases/tag/WAMR-1.1.2
I uploaded simple test scripts for a reference, suppose you wasmtime, iwasm and wamrc are in system paths:
tar -zxf libsodium-test.tar.gz
cd libsodium-test
./build.sh (clone wasm files and build them into wamr aot files)
./test_aot.sh (run workloads, the output data is dumped into report.txt)

I ran without AOT but tried the various execution modes with interpretation and jit. I am now trying the scripts from @Wenyong Huang. On wasmtime AoT did not do much difference for me, so it will be interesting to see it here.
