Very slowly. Java, OCaml, or LuaJIT would be better examples here!

How many of the "GC is always slow" people would recognize those systems? Besides: V8 and JSC have pretty decent JITs nowadays. IME, performance of JIT systems has more to do with the structure of programs written in JS than with VM performance itself.
