I didn't say you were making up benchmarks. I was only worried people would misinterpret what you call "efficient".
When it comes to 'finding' elements the fastest based on CSS selectors you are right - jQuery is not the fastest right now. So you could say other libraries are more "efficient" on this. But as I said, the true power of jQuery is not necessarily finding elements (even so that's a big part of it). The real juice lays in the package of dom manipulation functions <http://jquery.com/api/> that are wrapped around the result sets it returns. And that's where I think jQuery is the most efficient library with no one to touch it out there.
