Vanilla-js still faster than kivi

[jklmli]

http://vanilla-js.com/ is a serious opponent - how do we beat them? I see we've made significant progress in the last benchmark round, how can we do better next time?:

How do we plan to catch up?

We don't need to beat them :)

This benchmark is using test cases that are easy to implement in vanilla. And for some test cases like "delete" it still requires some tricks that aren't many people know about, and I can't imagine that someone will write real application this way.

uibench has way much more test cases, and it would be extremely hard to create efficient vanilla implementation for this benchmark.

kivi implementation hasn't changed since round4. This benchmark had some serious problems before round5 and this table was completely useless to the wide audience because it compared implementations that preserve internal state against implementations that are losing it.

@localvoid can probably beat vanillaJS with his bear hands :D

in Soviet Russia...
