SlickSpeed battle of the frameworks.

I was browsing MooTool's blogs and came across one of there latest(they only have a few).
SlickSpeed. How does the test runs on your browser?
jQuery, sadly, appears to be one of the slower. Prototype is the fastest within my two runs, in fact the same 239 each run. MooTools comes second within both two test runs.
EDIT: My tests show that:
Prototype is fastest at CSS3 selectors.
MooTools is second.
Dojo, ext, jQuery and then cssQuery.
This is on FireFox.

jQuery's really slow for me too, but I got too impatient to wait to the end of the tests. jQuery doesn't support Safari 1.2 either, so it doesn't look like I'll be sticking with it.

MooTools looks like an awesome alternative. I eventually want to have go with the framework.

Awesome. I was about to get nervous about using jQuery.

I wanna make a JavaScript framework... What do they do? Just animation?

Sweet this was something I'd expect from the jQuery, although I was getting skeptical...

As of right now this does't seem to be reflecting in the SlickSpeed test.

I think they are using 1.1.2 instead of 1.1.3.

They do the same thing all frameworks do... they provide faster and easier ways of doing all the things you do EVERY time you write a script, so you can get to the important parts without repeating yourself 100 times.
In PHP, these things are session management, database manipulation / abstraction, access control, authentication, etc.
What do you do often in javascript? DOM traversal, animation, dynamic styling, ajax... you get the point.

Ahhh. Makes sense.

Thanks.
