You might also want to check out the hyperxify browserify transform to statically compile hyperx into javascript expressions to save sending the hyperx parser down the wire.

JSX has the advantage of being fast, but the disadvantage that it needs to be preprocessed before working. By using template string virtual-html, we can have it work out of the box, and optimize it by writing a browserify transform. Best of both!

Parsing HTML has significant overhead. Being able to parse HTML statically, ahead of time can speed up rendering to be about twice as fast.
