Beware the way you're benchmarking, e.g. immutable structures and pure (& immutable-state-aware) components can make a pretty huge difference in react.

Yes. This is indeed a big challenge.

Maybe I can just use the TodoMVC app.

Yeah Matt Esch (virtual-dom) has a bench based on todomvc: https://github.com/matt-esch/mercury-perf http://matt-esch.github.io/mercury-perf/

Or http://evancz.github.io/todomvc-perf-comparison/ which seems to be an older version of the same bench but has a better output.

Thanks. I think comparing Riot with React is most important initially. And there is no Riot 2.0 TodoMVC example available yet.

I also think that Riot performance can be further optimized.

Slowly getting there...
