[jQuery] performance

[jQuery] performance


Hi, I am tasked with presenting evidence that my company is better of
using jQuery than either our own home-grown solution or another
framework like scriptaculous. I don't expect a full-blown discussion
here ( I am pretty good with google :), but I was wondering if the
developers have any comments about this performance test:
http://blog.solnic.eu/2008/2/3/jquery-vs-prototype-part-ii
It shows some pretty poor performance in a number of tests (in
comparison), as well as a seemingly lack of support for Opera. Is
there something wrong with the how test is structured? Are the calls
being made with jQuery the most optimal? Just looking for some
feedback from the developers, as there are the questions I am going to
have to answer when I present jQuery to the higher-ups.
Thanks
