   Wish it explained where the v8 isolate latency is coming from compared to microvms

      v8 isolates aren't actually a great sandbox and I would not trust them implicitly in the AI era. This is probably why they wrap them in an additional sandbox.

         Why are v8 isolates bad, I see speculative execution hacks, but are there others?

            The v8 JIT is very complex and can lead to sandbox escapes if there are type confusion bugs.
