The performance tests I put on the Mithril ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://lhorie.github.io/mithril&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;lhorie.github.io&amp;#x2F;mithril&lt;/a&gt; ) site illustrate this problem. I don&amp;#x27;t have Ember there, but if anyone more familiar with it would like to contribute (the rendering test is really simple), that would be most welcome.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s another independent test here ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://jsperf.com/angular-vs-knockout-vs-ember/292&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;jsperf.com&amp;#x2F;angular-vs-knockout-vs-ember&amp;#x2F;292&lt;/a&gt; ), which actually surprised me.</text></comment>

I theorize that Ember&amp;#x27;s lack of a single corporate backer is what has enabled its incredible community to flourish.</text></comment>
