Description

Right now hyperlight-wasm requires the wasm component to be pre-complied before loading. This causes the need to build for each architecture and makes the items not portable.

Would it be possible to not need to precompile?

What is the performance impact for not pre-compiling?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing how hyperlight-wasm loads a precompiled component, then measure loading and execution with and without pre-compilation across architectures. Done means components work without pre-compilation and the performance impact is documented.
