I have no basis for talking about this. My suspicion is that our OCaml apps perform pretty terribly if you look at raw numbers, because we use what is essentially a hobbyist library called `bucklescript-tea`[0], which implements the Elm Architecture. I can only assume it's not optimized. Fortunately, we don't need it to be. The README stresses that it's fast, but meh.
From reading, the Reason team have had great success using react from Reason (so OCaml) even without manual optimizations, because of immutable data (even compared to immutable.js). Take that nugget with a pinch of salt, though, because I didn't hear it recently and I'm not sure I ever saw real numbers behind it.
