You should be able to reuse ODF-processing C++ code on the web, using Emscripten, which will compile C++ to JavaScript (through LLVM). Maybe this could be useful for WebODF? If so I'd be happy to help out!

The grunt of the code is interacting with the browser DOM and the speed there is limited by the browser. But there are a few areas where numerical speed is useful. WebODF does unzipping of the document in the browser. This is not a performance problem for regular documents. But for documents with more then a hundred pages, a speedup might be noticable. Perhaps you can speed up the javascript inflate and deflate functions.
