Which WebCL prototype should I use?

I'm thinking of doing some experiments on WebCL. I'm good in OpenCL/CUDA on GPUs. How different is the experience in general and which implementation should I use? Samsung or Nokia.

You can find plenty of updated examples for Nokia's prototype: https://github.com/jmietola/webcl-firefox-examples

Also Nokia's prototype is up-to-date. So current version works with FireFox25.

There is a third WebCL prototype https://github.com/Motorola-Mobility/node-webcl

I had to down rev my browser to run the Nokia WebCL. But I was able write some complex examples. The issue I see if the time taken to initialize a GPU ~45 ms and the time taken to compile a kernel ~145ms. In ~200 ms I can do ~2M FLOPS in Javscript, So when does WebCL gain over JS ...
