Guile has had some performance work done lately, and has a bytecode  
engine of its own; no JIT compilation to machine code yet, but people  
are certainly keeping it in mind.  I don't know how the ECMAScript  
performance compares to a random browser's Javascript engine  
currently, and (according to http://wingolog.org/archives/2009/02/22/ecmascript-for-guile 
  though maybe things have changed) I guess Andy Wingo doesn't  
either.  But the ECMAScript support is a second language reader for  
the compiler, so when the Scheme compilation and optimization support  
improves, so should the ECMAScript support.
