Minification could be improved?

[kaushalyap]

As seen in https://github.com/privatenumber/minification-benchmarks SWC minfication ability is comparatively low. Can this be improved?

I'm already working on it.
See: #1302
I'm basically porting terser, with some additional rules from closure compiler.

I made an issue about it at privatenumber/minification-benchmarks#6

I see the code for the benchmark for the esbuild is

import esbuild from 'esbuild';
import measure from './measure.js';

const service = await esbuild.startService();

await measure(async ({ code }) => {
	const minified = (await service.transform(code, {
		minify: true,
		sourcemap: false,
	}));
	return minified.code;
});

service.stop();

I think it would be nice to do the equivalent of the "esbuild.startService" function to initialize the wasm of swc.
This would allow the performance of swc to be measured without loading the wasm.
