What are their respective sizes? Could you link to some benchmarks?

I wonder how it'll stack up to React Fiber. I love when libraries compete on performance, since it can end up benefiting everyone.

The Glimmer runtime is under 30k, and we have not done much bundle optimization yet so hopefully this should go down a little bit even further.

React Fiber is currently just over 70k, and that's just the reconciler, not the complete React package. However, according to Dan Abramov[0] they have not yet focused on optimizing the bundle size either. And Fiber includes some prioritization features that we don't have in Glimmer yet.

Is incremental rendering something that will be added to Ember/Glimmer?
