Typed arrays do deliver a lot of speedup, and in fact, the above example is slightly faster in Chrome than in Firefox Nightly for me. However, if your algorithm does crunch a lot of data in a low-level way, there is definitely even more performance you can get by using asm.js.

See my link in the comment below for benchmarks of a sha1 algorithm that shows a good speedup in Chrome by using TypedArrays, but an even greater one in OdinMonkey.

awesome - thanks for doing the legwork! I'll definitely take a look.
