Comments on: Rounding Error http://www.sporcic.org/2009/06/rounding-error/ In pursuit of programming bliss through creative curly braces Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:38:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Shea Frederick http://www.sporcic.org/2009/06/rounding-error/comment-page-1/#comment-181 Shea Frederick Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:05:52 +0000 http://www.sporcic.org/?p=401#comment-181 I'm confused by your statement that "2.Ext, LLC, screwed the pooch in not using Sizzle for the selector engine" when it appears to be a rounding error that makes up most of the difference throughout the tests. So if jQuery executes a particular selection in 0.49ms and Ext Core does it in 0.51ms, then its Ext Core that is dubbed immensely slower? Tests like this take no real world scenarios into account, so im not a big fan of these kinds of things.
