jQuery object creation vs ZeptoJS object creation? GO! If the network is not an issue, which is rare, it comes down to the runtime. However, Zepto is certainly better for mobile sites because of it's size.

Preparation code

<div id="main" data-test="the test attribute value"></div><script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="http://thescoutapp.com/zepto.min.js"></script>
<script>
  Benchmark.prototype.setup = function() {
        var d = {};
        d.id = function(el){
            return document.getElementById(el);
        }
        var main = d.id('main');
  };
</script>
