Since there has been no final release of Slick, there have been no final benchmarks released.
Slick is faster than Sizzle on some common selectors. Sizzle is faster than Slick overall. Slick supports more selectors and passes more tests than Sizzle. The first goal of Slick 1.0 is passing specs. The second goal of Slick 1.0 is to be very fast, but not to sacrifice selector support and accuracy for a few extra ops/sec. It doesn’t matter how quickly you get the wrong answer ;) http://mootools.net/slickspec/SlickSpec/ Results as of: Mon Jan 11 2010 > Sizzle edge 9AAF3C9A > Safari 4: 1349 examples 76 failures 38 errors > IE 6: 1119 examples 12 failures 10 errors > Sizzle jQuery 1.4 > Safari 4: 1277 examples 74 failures 38 errors > Sizzle jQuery 1.3 > Safari 4: 1277 examples 438 failures 42 errors > MooTools Slick edge > Safari 4: 1690 examples 5 failures 0 errors > IE 6: 1165 examples 13 failures 0 errors > MooTools 1.2.4 > Safari 4: 1213 examples 284 failures 191 errors > NWMatcher 20091231 > Safari 4: 1138 examples 218 failures 248 errors > YUI 2.x > Safari 4: 1258 examples 471 failures 8 errors NWMatcher has since gotten much much better. So these old results aren’t the best. Sizzle probly got better since jQuery 1.4 first came out. Slick also probly got better too. — Tom Aylott – SubtleGradient – MooTools — >> So, what's the status on all of this? Where can I get the intel?
