Very interesting discussion / development that is going on there, thanks for this little update ray.

Now one thing that just confused the heck out of me was that when I hit page info on his page (and his test suite) , my FF said is was rendered in *quirks mode*! Up until now I've been pretty amazed with the stuff he's done (even so it's not jQuery), but I didn't know that he'd even handicap himself for a bigger challenge ... ; ). Anyway, can somebody please confirm that it's not just me (early in the morning) and this is really the case with his page <http://www.jackslocum.com/blog/index.php>? In that case I could drop him a little mail so he can fix it.

Now I really don't know, but does the rendering mode also effect DOM scripting? In that case his tests could be inaccurate beyond the things mentioned by John in the blog post.

Hi everyone. Jack Slocum, the maker of the YUI-Ext lib, recently posted some performance benchmarks that compared his new extension, DOMQuery, to several libraries. jQuery was included in the comparison and in his tests, jQuery incorrectly appeared to fail or run slower than DomQuery. So we saw this an opportunity to present our own test results.

Here is John's posting on the jQuery blog re: this issue:

He has also replied to Jack on his blog. If you choose to reply to Jack's posting, lets ensure that we remain professional at all times. DomQuery is actually incredibly fast but we feel that the results weren't consistent with what we've seen and that we have a performance edge at this moment.
