# Mach React

#### Pros
 * Only ~12.5KB when minified and gzipped. Read through the code in a day.
 * Works like React with Radium, does css auto-prefixing and merging.
 * Runs much faster than production React, less code === faster.
 * Unstrict, and immutability is optional.

##### Cons
 * Experiment and unstabled. Expect bugs and memory leaks.
 * Created by an insane web developer.
 * Unstrict, and immutability is optional.

##### Benchmark
Based on Todo example from React docs. This benchmark adds about 200 todos with very long strings and random numbers in them. It removes and re-adds the todos as much as possible for about 5 seconds. First it runs against React, then Mach React. On my machine Mach React runs about twice as fast as standard React in production mode.
