Noted. Meanwhile, this is 12.3kB (uncompressed) while React's core (minus addons or anything) is 121.7kB. For something as young as this, and to do fairly well in a number of benchmarks compared to the highly engineered piece of work that is React is pretty great.

This library can only get better. It's great to see someone trying to make a more lightweight React.

Also, you can see exactly how the benchmarks are run through the /test folder. My test using PhantomJS gave me the same results as the recorded statistics against Safari. And because it uses the browser's built in DOM toolkit rather than a virtual one, (in theory) it should become faster whenever browser DOMs become faster.
