Actually, I am putting my money where my mouth is: http://www.commadot.com/jquery/speedtest/
This shows library SIZE and it also uses an actual website. (My blog, which is typical of normal WordPress blogs). I'm still playing with the selectors. not sure why some didnt find anything. Glen On 7/11/07, Rey Bango <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Jack actually points out the fact that "div div div" is pointless. He also gives a lot of kudos to jQuery and I'm glad for that. He even mentioned John's nth child script and how well-written it is. I like the fact that he, in a roundabout way, calls out other libs on the use of pointless selectors and the tweaking towards XPath. I would venture to say that when SlickSpeed was first posted by MooTools, very few developers actually compared the results in IE. IE is still the dominant browser and if you look at the performance of the libs in IE, you'll see that jQuery really performed well while others fell on their face. While the results don't show us to the be the fastest, I think the post helps to validate John Resig's position that the selectors in these tests don't represent real-world examples and certainly shows the lack of consistent performance by other libs when using the leading browser. In terms of performance, we're well within effective speed ranges so as you mentioned, Glen, 10ms is irrelevant. I see this as Jack's way of quieting the other groups and not specifically targeted at jQuery. Rey...
