Readme benchmarks

I’m having a difficult time understanding what the benchmarks in the readme suggest, both because of their formatting (things don’t seem to be lining up correctly) and because I’m not entirely sure what each column represents. Also, it’s not clear what the conditions are for each test, like which browsers being targeted if they’re all not just targeting ES5.

I assume that “win” means <non-minified size> - <minified size>, but I’m not completely convinced, because things don’t seem to make sense if that were true (closure js being significantly better than regular closure for react, for example).

The first issue can be alleviated using tables instead of the current white space separated values, and that might be enough to end up fixing the second issue too.

Thanks!

Wow, I’m now convinced you’re just actually a robot @hzoo, it actually explains a lot. 😉
