Performance
-----------
In a rough performance test, precompiled Handlebars.js templates (in the original version of Handlebars.js) rendered in about half the time of Mustache templates. It would be a shame if it were any other way, since they were precompiled, but the difference in architecture does have some big performance advantages. Justin Marney, a.k.a. [gotascii](http://github.com/gotascii), confirmed that with an [independent test](http://sorescode.com/2010/09/12/benchmarks.html).

The rewritten Handlebars (current version) is faster than the old version, and we will have some benchmarks in the near future.
Building
--------
To build handlebars, just run `rake release`, and you will get two files
in the `dist` directory. The debug version comes with stack trace
annotations for webkit browsers, but will slightly increase startup
time.
