Daniel; not to split hairs about JS framework speed, but I think you have some misinformation about MooTools' speed. Dojo and jQuery are both faster than MooTools, on average. However, it's a little less black and white than that. There are some features that MooTools does better on, and others that it is very slow on.
jQuery 1.3.x was quite slow. For a more complete breakdown, see: http://dante.dojotoolkit.org/taskspeed/ OK, sorry for being offtopic a bit. =) -Lorin On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 7:57 PM, Daniel Antonio Peraza Cedrez < [email protected]> wrote: > i must admit I didn't check your website, and therefore, I couldn't realize > you've been already using jQuery and Dojo.
