This isn't necessarily true. In fact, it's not true of Surplus and Radi.js, which is partly why they're much faster than every vdom framework out there.

They're faster because they are not computing DOM (or vdom) nodes when that's not needed.

But they're creating new DOM nodes when values-on-which-the-code-depends change.
