Now I might have to abandon Prototype. I just finished a big project with Prototype. I choose Prototype, because I thought it was lean and mean, but now when my project increases, Prototype is starting to get slow. I cant believe how much faster DOMassistant is. DOMassitant is also the only one that doesn't seem to care which browser it's working for. I run tests with IE, FF, Chrome and Safari on a WinXP machine. Browser <strong>Chrome</strong> 1.0.154.42, <strong>IE</strong> 7.0.5730.13, <strong>FF</strong> 3.05, <strong>Safari</strong> 3.1.2 <strong>DOMAssistant 2.7.4:</strong> 21,  24,  30, 4 <strong>jQuery 1.2.6:</strong> 43,  227,  120, 48 <strong>Prototype 1.6.0.3:</strong> 26,  1206,  194, 4 <strong>Mootools 1.2.1:</strong> 49,  318,  110, 44 <strong>ExtJS Core 2.2:</strong> 26,  116, 76, 8 <strong>Dojo 1.2:</strong> 52,  452,  88, 59 <strong>YUI 2.6.0:</strong> 186,  774,  272, 247 These are milliseconds. Tests are performed with http://www.domassistant.com/slickspeed/ Conclusion. DOMassistant doens't care about the browser. It outperforms any other javascript library in any browser...big time.

I might have to try and ween myself from my LowPro addiction, and take DOMAssistant for a real spin on a real project soon. The speed tests certainly makes a very compelling case for DOMAssistant, with a lot less bagage than competing frameworks offer. When evaluating tools for new projects, DOMAssistant should certainly be taken for a spin round the block, with some kicking on the tyres. Congratulations Robert! Another impressive release.
