They all do the same thing, and if the developers of all the libraries collaborated on a single selector engine then that selector engine will see improvement from all of the great javascript minds. Of course, competition creates great improvements as well. So, either way will work out :) Personally, I’m for all of the libraries standardizing on a single selector engine.

I also think that the push for standardizing on Sizzle as the generic selector engine for all libraries is a bit premature. That's at least what John Resig said at the jQuery camp event last year. If there's a real need for us to pick one engine then all must be considered. Agree.

I was actually surprised with the results and am glad I ran the tests. I was expecting one library to dominate (either Ext Core or JQuery) and instead they split the difference. We've probably reached a point with software-based selector engines where we're not going to see much improvement in performance going forward. The next battleground will be the native selector engine implementations in browsers. It should be fun and can only make things better for us. -Tim Thanks, Claude.

It always amazes me when the supposed stewards of open-source web technologies choose to leave such a great library out of their benchmarks for political reasons. I'll cross post this <a href="http://yuiblog.com/blog/2009/04/13/yui-270-on-taskspeed/" rel="nofollow">over there</a>. Thanks for posting the results, and for including Ext-JS Core.
