Angular VS Knockout VS Ember VS React VS Mithril VS Mercury VS Ractive (v603)

Revision 603 of this benchmark created by joss 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

Added Knockout Rate Limiting http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/rateLimit-observable.html

UPD: React 0.11.2

UPD: Maquette 1.6.0 Added Maquette.js
