In terms of benchmarks, I was thinking more along the lines of benchmarking on the client, in particular for mobile devices which may have less memory. This would essentially be, time to load the template from the server to the time taken to render.
Is there someone who has the time to perform and publish an independent audit on performance specifically? We currently have this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/HTML_templating_library#...
...which suggests that Knockoff is 50% faster than then next fastest solution (Handlebars), and over 10x faster than most. If this stands up to scrutiny, and holds true as Knockoff gains feature parity, this is a huge achievement that we should shout about far and wide, since I believe no one disputes that a DOM-based approach is much more secure than a string-based approach. Before bragging about this, though, we should make absolutely sure that it stands up to independent scrutiny.
