It depends, Picasso is smallest but doesn't support GIFs. Glid is larger and does support GIFs. Fresco is larger again but has more advanced memory management and better transition handling.

I'm not sold on the whole "code quality" vs "getting things done" mentality here.

I think there are diminishing returns in reducing technical debt and keeping a high quality codebase, but the point of doing it that you can maintain a sustained, relatively high "getting things done" rate over the project's lifetime. There are times where you should implement something in a quick and easy way, but if code is going to be present and important for a long time then going the extra mile usually pays off.

I would imagine a software engineer at Google is earning a lot more than £7.35 an hour, and could easily move into a better place to live if they wanted to.

Would be nice to have Angular, Backbone and Knockout included in the speed graph.
