Javascript templating benchmark

There are many popular libraries to do templating in Javascript.

The most popular are:

I decided to benchmark them, so I created a simple "hello world" test.

As usual, the results are interesting. Here are, on my box:

Firefox 3.6 Chrome 11.0 Safari 5.0
jQuery Template 297ms 138ms 113ms
Pure 309ms 43ms 36ms
Resig 309ms 41ms 41ms
Trimpath 15ms 5ms 6ms
JQote2 7ms 1ms 6ms

A part from the obvious result that Firefox is the slowest browser of all, I'm astonished by the excellent performance of JQote2!
