I know more about the difference between watir (not classic) and watir-webdriver
for simple addressing cases like browser.link(:id, 'blah') I do not see any difference in performance or even watir-webdriver works MUCH faster, but for really complex DOMs and complex addressing like browser.frame(:id, someregexp).link(:id, someregexp) I can see great performance degradation in comparison with watir. I have cases (in complex situations) when watir-webdriver click on single button 5 minutes or so. Maybe, it is just due some of my applications and it is not a general case, but I recommend to look at first what thing do you want to automate. If your application is really complex (I mean with complex DOM), I would prefer to look on Watir classic, but if you application not some Enterprise level and just simple web site (without sub-sub-sub frames), so I prefer watir-webdriver -- -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
