And since we're getting quite close to the deadline (November 16), I'd
like you to also be more clear about when you think you'll be able to
send us more work to review (so we can schedule time to review it).

For example, do you think you'll be able to benchmark and report on the
performance of these other JavaScript libraries before the end of the
week? If not, when?
