[Celerity-users] How fast is Celerity? (Early benchmarks)

[T. Alexander Lystad]

I just did some early benchmarking, and thought I'd share the results 
with you. Three scenarios were benchmarked:

* Scenario 1: Local HTML file with 2000 span elements
* Scenario 2: Looping a Google image search result
* Scenario 3: Counting the number of "diggs" on digg.com's front page

In these scenarios it looks as though Celerity reduces Watir's time with 
97%, 58% and 78% respectively.

It's worth noting that in scenario 3, and especially scenario 2, Watir 
probably saved significant time due to images being cached from previous 
benchmarking. However, Celerity doesn't download them at all.
