Performance

Since around 2009 there have been an on going debate about CSS selector speed in the web developer community. Since PAM uses AMCSS and the claims have been that attribute selectors are slow it's only fair to adress this. After doing some research I decided to let Ben Frain have the final word and lay it out for you all. So please head over to the CSS selector performance article for performance tests and analysis to see if you still think it's an issue, I know I don't.

Here's one of the key takeaways.

Sweating over the selectors used in modern browsers is futile; most selection methods are now so fast it's really not worth spending much time over.

I'll leave this subject with the following quote.

With CSS, architecture is outside the braces; performance is inside
