Hermes optimizes for its primary metrics of startup time, size, and memory utilization. These aren't specific to React Native, but they were informed by it.
Hermes makes different trade-offs than other VMs in order to optimize for its core metrics. In particular, Hermes has no JIT (just in timer compiler), because JITs are mainly useful for improving the performance of longer running, CPU intensive programs. A JIT also consumes more memory than an interpreter. I expect that JS which is not React Native can benefit from Hermes, but not that Hermes will be an improvement for all possible JS programs.
Given the very long evaluation time of vue.js on both VMs which you have measured, I suspect that the JIT is kicking in and JSC execution benefits from this.

Another observation (thanks to @jbower-fb) is that if you use prepareJavaScript() on device, you are not getting the most optimized possible code. This is a tradeoff to reduce on-device compilation time and is intended for simple code or testing on slow devices. For production use, the engine design expects that the JS source is compiled offline. You should use the command line hermes
compiler, with the -O
flag to generate bytecode with full optimizations.
Another optimization which RN uses which you can use, too, is to mmap the bytecode instead of eagerly loading it. https://github.com/facebook/hermes/blob/master/API/jsi/jsi/jsilib.h#L14 is some library code which will do this for you.
