Um, the difference between 300ms and 800ms is half a second! :-) But I agree that the SlickSpeed test doesn't mean much. What counts is how fast it is with the code you actually write. And a little optimization in your own code will usually take care of any speed problems (e.g. Don't repeat an expensive selector inside a loop, use event delegation instead of multiple event handlers, etc.).
