yeah - if there are calculations being performed in js - sure, this
will help lots. But from my experience building large hairy ajax apps,
its *still* the dom manipulation that holds things back for most
everyday things.
But yes, in future, that could well be a bottleneck too.

yeah their description of JIT may have made sense once, but any jit
that goes beyond the initial stage of timing methods would go beyond

This is also a good example of a straw man argument (if it was an

Well I think that's kind of the point, nobody is dissing the
