mining efficiency

We're constantly told that the only effective bitcoin mining now is done with asics. CPUs are completely useless at it. Admittedly this is largely an efficiency argument : a matter of the power used to mine being worth the bitcoins.

But can a bit of javascript really mine anything worth having ? AIUI, it would take years to produce anything measurable.
