I beg to differ. In the case of TVs (as oposed to STBs or HPs), the amount
of RAM and CPU capacities available for JS implementations are
significantly less (sometimes orders of magnitude). The traditional focus
on absolute minimization of BoM (bill of materials) cost continues to
produce a performance barrier for most TVs. Sure, more capacity could be
added until it becomes merely a JS/VM implementation issue, but that has
not happened in general in this device class.
