Yup. Once you have harder problems, you need harder solutions and you'll want to create a layered build with one cacheable file for common things used everywhere and then one separate file for each page's specific things. RequireJ

(Edit: posted this comment before I read the article, doh.) These is certainly something wrong with the benchmark. Since Om is a layer on top of React, it is obvious that React itself cannot be necessarily slower than Om. (Perhaps idiomatic
