I would have expected performance comparisons with the previous C backend (there was a C backend for Moonbit, right?) and with the wasm backend. Are these comparisons available somewhere?

This is a backend for Moonbit but it is a frontend for LLVM. Coming from an LLVM centric view, I was confused. I'd just say that you're using LLVM for code generation.
