The caveat is that this is in reference to a _landing page_ only. If you try to write an advanced application with vanilla.js and you aren't some Javascript guru, then you are going to really hate yourself later on -- I guarantee it. Also, that 50% is only measuring the time to interactive on what I imagine is the first page visit. After everything becomes cached, I would think that the the benefit is dramatically lower.

  Default choices on that page show the following file size: Final size: 0 bytes uncompressed, 25 bytes gzipped.

    Yeah, but it bloats up considerably when you add in the other features.

    Gzip format has: 10 byte header, 8 byte footer, optional additional headers, and DEFLATE compressed content. So, yeah, +25 bytes seems reasonable.

  That site has been around a while, and is definitely a joke ;) No matter what you check off to include in the library, the generated file is 0 bytes.
