Runtime Benchmarks

[moserke]

Have any benchmarks been run against the various runtimes? Would be nice to have an understanding of the performance tradeoffs of each of the runtimes.

Not that we are aware of. The best benchmarks are those did in the same environment we want to use 😄 . Take this opportunity to share your results with the community

Yes, there have been a few benchmarks comparing node, therubyracer, and mini_racer. mini_racer has a makeshift benchmark suite you can try out if you'd like to, but AFAIK performance-wise mini_racer is in the lead just ahead of node*.
