Without dedicated VM support.. Noo.. that's impossible. V8 is now about 5-10 times slower than C while VisualWorks is about 20 times slower than C so if the translation to plain JavaScript will be efficient enough, it has very interesting potential. Of course Jtalk will not be complete Smalltalk implementation, it will not probably have such capabilities like continuations, resumeable exceptions, weak references, good debugger etc. But it is the next reason why it may be very fast.
