JRuby brings me ~ +30 MB. I tried to use Nashorn also but it is so slow.
I'm thinking to continue with WebView.

The question is why there is HTML 5 Web Workers. Why there is no like that
for JavaFX threading model.

@Jens

Expensiveness comes from JavaScript code that runs on UI thread. Script
execution takes long time normally. For example docbook conversion
execution starts from here
