Or there is Inferno which is VDOM based and outperforms Svelte on most benchmarks. The whole narrative of "VDOM is pure overhead" doesn't hold out in practice, and I suspect really just an excuse to attack React and promote Svelte.

Outperforms? Solid, svelte and inferno all look to have very similar numbers in that table unless I’m terribly misreading it. So similar, that I think which way it goes is possibly more dependent on your benchmark environment than any difference between them.
According to that, solid won in the majority of metrics. And what about build size?
Svelte has largest component size compared to other frameworks such as Vue, React and Solid, so it quickly grows, even on a small webapp. Because Inferno is VDOM, I'm assuming it has a smaller component size compared to Solid.
