Fastdom – a weapon in the war against jank

Interesting, but I'm missing a benchmark or video comparison between a page built with fastdom and one without. How much of a difference does this actually make? Is batching DOM operations really faster than just executing them whenever you want?

Do not understand me wrong, if this works as hoped, I think this might a really useful library, but I'm curious if it's worth the trouble of implementing.

Did you miss the example links from the readme?

- http://wilsonpage.github.io/fastdom/examples/animation.html

- http://wilsonpage.github.io/fastdom/examples/aspect-ratio.ht...

Especially the animation example shows a very noticeable improvement.

The aspect-ratio demo shows a huge improvement too, especially if you crank up the number of nodes to 1000.
