Web browser compatibility

Looks like this only works in node.js environments due to a process.hrtime dependency.

purescript-minibench/src/Performance/Minibench.js

Line 3 in 094b318

exports.hrTime = process.hrtime;

It would be interesting to test outside of the V8 (Node) environment by running the same benchmarks with SpiderMonkey (Firefox).

It's been reported that SpiderMonkey handles PureScript more efficiently. Although this would also likely be testing whatever web bundler is being used too (unless we pick a very basic bundler like esbuild / snowpack).

Maybe https://www.npmjs.com/package/browser-process-hrtime will work for you?

That package looks fine to me. https://github.com/kumavis/browser-process-hrtime/blob/master/index.js I’d suggest copying the polyfill code into an FFI module (with the appropriate licensing text of course) rather than having to mess with npm dependencies.
