Angular VS Knockout VS Ember VS React VS Mithril VS Mercury (v355)

Revision 355 of this benchmark created on

Description

This is a simple rendering speed test between the most popular libraries/frameworks. I added in Mithril because it's a newcomer with some promise.

Added Mercury...

UPD: ember 1.6.1
