Edge versus Chrome - A Quick createElement Benchmark

I’ve been mixing up my browser usage over the last year to give MS Edge a closer look. Some pages are noticeably slower in Edge. Looking in the developer tools, the slow pages have thousands of calls to createElement and createDocumentFragment, so I thought it would be interesting to do some microbenchmarks.

With today's stable releases, createElement is twice as fast on Chrome, while createDocumentFragment is an order of magnitude faster.
