Abdul... Please do a Google search through the groups archive for messages regarding the SlickSpeed tests. Even the authors of the test admit it contains many examples that aren't real world. Besides...while speed is important, the difference between 300ms and 800ms is negligible. Further I'd totally sacrifice a little speed (if called to do so) to keep the terse syntax and ease of use that jQuery offers.

Especially the community is great! But I was running http://www.domassistant.com/slickspeed/ and notices that: - DOMAssistant 2.7.1: 148 - jQuery 1.2.6: 161 - Prototype 1.6.0.2: 310 - Mootools 1.2b: 157 - ExtJS Core 2.0.2: 113 - Dojo 1.0.2: 106 - YUI 2.5.1: 378 I was just wondering, why is JQuery so much slower compared to Dojo or ExtJS? is it because of the stuff it provides out of the box after you have found a collection of objects? Its just my curiosity on why it isn't just easy do adopt the speed improvements of Dojo and ExtJS :) Regards, Abdul
