@gws :thinking: it doesn't need to disassemble the whole thing just the symbol table and the page of code you're currently looking at, could be an interesting perf improvement to experiment with

@gws Sorry, I got stuck on the ”a 1.4GB wasm module”, that sounds like quite a big individual file?

@voxpelli Yes, I'm experimenting with something large. Though I did exaggerate a little, it's just the text disassembly that's over a GB, the wasm itself is smaller and compresses fairly well.

$ du -h module.wasm
160M module.wasm

$ wasm-dis module.wasm > module.txt
$ du -h module.txt
1.4G module.txt

$ gzip -k module.wasm
$ du -h module.wasm.gz
18M module.wasm.gz

@gws Ah, makes sense, text representation is for sure not very efficient

How easy is it to split a big WASM file into smaller ones that are maybe even loaded dynamically?
