Feels a bit like deja vu from the google native client. As it was proven that many, many things are already fast in JavaScript.
The author points out in a blog post that this, being pure .js, doesn't need any sandboxing.

"Fast" is always a relative concept.... http://devongovett.github.com/pdf.js/test.html is about 4x faster in a tip Firefox than a tip Chrome for me.
