title: Is AngularJS faster than jQuery?
body: <h2>EDIT: based on the the answer, it seems that AngularJS is not faster than jQuery since it also uses a version of jQuery (jqLite).</h2>
  <p>A friend told me that jQuery can be slow because it needs to parse the entire HTML page for <strong>each</strong> request to be able to find the DOM objects and manipulate them. For a big page, it would get a bad performance.</p>
  <p>However, AngularJS could be faster with big HTML pages because it &quot;compiles&quot; the HTML and has a faster access to DOM objects.</p>
  <p>Is it true? Could you please give a trustful link that confirms that?</p>
  <p>If this not true, please, give me an explanation regarding how jQuery and AngularJS are different regarding accessing DOM objects.</p>
  <p>I've also seached by performance benchmarks and I've only found this one: <a href="http://jsperf.com/angular-vs-jquery-vs-native/36" rel="noreferrer">link</a>.</p>
  <p>If Angular is not faster than jQuery, why the test is wrong?</p>
