But certainly, the MooTools Slickspeed benchmark gives a much better indicator of actual real-world performance - it runs comparative tests across MooTools, jQuery, YUI, prototype and Dojo. I just haven't got round to finishing my tables of results and write-up for the Mootools stats on my various browsers.

I mean it's not really representative of your typical web page, so it doesn't really answer the interesting (imo) question, "which browser will display my stuff before the others ?"
