I am wondering if there's any performance comparison between js based approach like mathjax and katex with the built-in mathml rendering? Given that the the browser needs to parse and render the generated html and css for the js approach, it seems that mathml should be faster. But is it the case for real performance?

I've done math sites with MathML in Firefox and MathJax as fallback for other browsers. The difference is huge. MathML rendering is immediate while MathJax comes limping along after an annoying delay. Even when bundling the MathJax library.

Edit: Don't want to send negative vibes toward MathJax. They do great work. Just think it would have been better if google didn't decide "no, the web shall not have native math rendering".

Edit2: Didn't know chrome supported MathML now.
