Oh my goodness -- that's really fascinating. I had no idea that the new jQuery-tmpl templates were that egregiously slow. (Nearly 100x slower, for those who don't want to run the tests.) Thanks for adding 'em to the list.
No problem after all. :)
It's really horrible. But it's not that bad for me. knockout.js does a good job with partial rendering via databinding (ie. only rerender what really changed or is added).
Also it's just beta 1, lets see what happens next.
But adding Eco Template as engine for knockout.js would be a great idea, i think...
