Handlebars and doT might be faster since they use compiled code

[tiye]

Our team uses handlebars and is comparing several template engines for performance and. As I got from the docs that Handlebars and doT are very fast when they are precompiled.
I think this case should be added into consideration.

@jiyinyiyong - Yes I am also agree with you. Same benchmark result on my machine is as follows:

(my machine Macbook Pro 7,1 Mid 2010, Core 2 Duo 8GB RAM)
In my case 1. Gaiken 2. Fest 3. doT
I ran test 2 times and difference between them is as follows:

[bharatpatil]

Is it possible to test it on browser?

[tiye]

@bharatpatil I think you should mark markup your result first, it's hard to read :-)
