John Resig - JavaScript Library Loading Speed

Although this article is pretty old, it's the fact that John pays attention to details like this that makes me completely confident in my choice to use jQuery.

Here is some more recent data (02/03/09): <a href="http://blog.creonfx.com/javascript/mootools-vs-jquery-vs-prototype-vs-yui-vs-dojo-comparison-revised" rel="nofollow">http://blog.creonfx.com/javascript/mootools-vs-jquery-vs-pro...</a><p>Unfortunately that article doesn't test jQuery 1.3, but you can find 1.3 benchmarks here: <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.3#Performance" rel="nofollow">http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.3#Performance</a>

This is over a year old. It would be interesting to see if there's any changes, especially with jQuery 1.3's browser feature/bug detection.

This is over a year old. At the pace these libraries evolve, this is not very useful data anymore.
