During testing, it has been observed that Ember.js generally lags behind AngularJS in terms of performance.
In a recent test scenario, both frameworks were pitted against each other to manipulate data sets containing 10,000 elements. Subsequently, they were tasked with animating 400 objects.
Rendering (10,000 elements):
Ember - http://jsbin.com/AzaceNo/1/
Angular - http://jsbin.com/ucopUca/1/
Result: Angular emerges as the clear winner, exhibiting an approximately 400% faster performance due to its lack of individual element observers compared to EmberJS.
Data Binding (Change 10,000 elements):
Ember - http://jsbin.com/IYAdIVEP/2/
Angular - http://jsbin.com/AGIJUmOj/1/
Result: While Ember initially experiences some delay, it ultimately renders slightly faster thanks to its element-specific observers.
Operations (Animate 400 objects):
Ember - http://jsbin.com/UCuJiH/1/
Angular - http://jsbin.com/uTuqOsO/1/
Result: AngularJS demonstrates superior efficiency and consistency by changing views immediately after invoking $apply() on all 400 elements, while Ember relies on observers equivalent to multiple $apply() calls.
Prediction: Based on past performance comparisons involving data manipulation within varying element ranges, it is anticipated that AngularJS will outperform EmberJS in rendering DOM elements for lists of up to 2000 elements.
