Jquery is faster in the Mootools SlickSpeed Test.

Mootools has a great speed test for DOM selectors in JS libraries called the “SlickSpeed” test. The results compare “Mootools “, “Prototype ” and “Jquery“. In the instance that I ran ( I only clicked “Start Tests”!) , Jquery came in first.
Jquery is on the third column in the attached thumbnail.
Its also interesting to note that “prototype” finds no results for the CSS selector (“div:nth-child(even)” and “div:nth-child(odd)”).

I suppose you’ve only passed this test on IE. In Firefox, Safari & Opera I have the mootools and prototype frameworks faster than jquery up to 100%.
I guess this is a matter of browsers too… in chrome I found mootools being the fastest, and in FF3 the fastest is for long Dojo 1.1.1
