Determine most efficient rendering mechanism

[jamesplease]

I thought that reducing the # of DOM operations affecting attached nodes would provide a huge speed boost, but Minionette does not do this, and preliminary tests show that my method may, in fact, be slower. Ref

Todo: learn more about reflows and browser performance. What causes a reflow? Why aren't those 10k DOM operations slowing anything down?

When Marionette switched to a document fragment to buffer its collection view rendering, it apparently got a big speed boost. What was the reason behind that? Is it not the same principle here?

Lots of articles on reflow mention that adding/removing nodes will always cause a reflow. And these operations are doing precisely that...so I should do more research on what's happening!
