The work behind is impressive and inovative.

More general benchmarks would be nice. more real life situations maybe, even if it is hard to say what is 'real life'.

or simply to fork http://mootools.net/slickspeed/ and to put myjs in there to see how it compares.

Totally right. I intend to add much more benchmarks and concrete examples in days to come. At first, I wanted to use Slickspeed but Slickspeed is very much "selectors" oriented. It was useful to have those selectors tests 3 years ago when each framework had to implement its own selector methods. But today, no matter which framework, under the hood it's the same "querySelectorAll" method. So comparing frameworks according to their selectors like slickspeed is a bit like comparing the performances of 2 PCs with the same hardware. In fact, the real difference between JS frameworks comes from the way they handle their HTMLElement wrappers, how those are created, how fast they access and modify the DOM. Keep you updated on the benchmarks!
