Didn't know Slim was much faster than Haml, might worth it to switch, since the syntax is pretty similar anyway!

One of the biggest reasons to switch is that Slim supports streaming and Haml doesn't, or at least won't until the next major version.

Are there any other pros/cons in switching to Slim? Other than the syntax of course.
I'd say speed and syntax are the main reasons. I've used both Haml and Slim over 5 or so projects and the jump doesn't feel all that significant. If you know Haml, you can pickup Slim within a couple of days at most.
