Not necessarily.

Maybe you can find some rendering comparisons from a few years ago. There was some "demo" called DBMonster or DBMON that showed the performance of updating a large amount of values on a table in a web page. The thing is a lot of different implementations were then written by many people using many different frameworks -including many using a virtual DOM and many not using one- and also even some "vanilla" implementations. I don't suggest it for the performance comparison -which you can of course look into- but, more in line with the question: it may be a good way to find a number of different approaches.
