Performance is a relative term. One could just as well argue that if you're really concerned with performance you should just write machine code.

i suppose i presumed a difference of 2x either way (worse/better) to justify picking one over the other -- given that frameworkless is ultimately the most optimize-able.

do you need something to be "at least X(ms) fast" or "faster than what company Y is doing" or "as fast as possible, no exceptions"
