Revision 1029 of this benchmark created by SerzN1 on

Description

A brief comparison of some JavaScript templating engines on a short template: 6 header tags, and 10 list items.

Note: When adding a new test, please ensure that your test returns the same HTML string (or equivalent DOM fragment) as the others.
