Apparently I've been benchmarking incorrectly for the past month or so.
Anyways, 2 things:
- CSS selectors, on most sites, are fast enough. Stop stressing.
- On handhelds, they are way too slow: a 10-20x hardware slowdown hurts. Never fear! Parallelism and hardware tuning to the rescue!
What this chart says is that instead of spending 20-50ms on a 2.66Ghz machine with 1GB RAM per hardware thread for slashdot, on 16 cores, it only takes 2-3ms. Where it is actually noticeable -- future handheld devices -- instead of wasting half a second on it, it could only take 50ms.
I want to try a couple more quick things, and then move on to webpage layout.
