The current WHATWG URL parser implementation is written in C/C++ and incurs a fairly significant cost crossing the JS/C++ boundary. It should be possible to realize a significant performance improvement by porting the implementation to WASM (similar to how the https://github.com/nodejs/undici project has seen a massive performance boost out of moving llhttp parser to wasm).

If someone wanted to

It may be a specific request but since there is a zip file handler for Android, doesn't hurt to ask for a desktop (maybe multiple backends?) implementation.

I would like to try that in the future but if anyone has time before feel free to do it.
