Just for laughs I ran that test in Konqueror 3.5.6. EVERY SINGLE TEST FAILED for both MooTools and Prototype. Every single test passed for jQuery. And here I thought jQuery would have at least a few failures seeing as Konqueror isn't the best supported browser for these types of libraries.. :)
Soooo.. The end results say it best for me: final time (less is better) MooTools: 25 Prototype: 25 jQuery: 630 Sseeing as every test failed for MooTools and Prototype, the "25" ms value has absolutely NO meaning at all. Yet less is better according to the test. So, the test is obviously flawed in some ways. From my perspective. I don't care at all if something takes 20ms vs 5ms. Because this time value is on the CLIENT machine, not the server or a reflection of network latency. Therefore, the obvious answer is that if it feels too slow, that client needs to upgrade their box. This test does not even come close to accurately testing times for a high volume network. It is ONLY testing the speeds of the different selectors ON THE CLIENT. And the effectiveness of those selectors (what's with the different number of matches for div:contains(CELIA) under firefox??). And with that, I'm done for the night (3:15am here, need sleep.. :) Shawn Rey Bango wrote: > > Hi Prit, > > Please do a search in the archives for this topic.
