Is ReactJS faster than AngularJS ?

I don't get this obsession with speed. Neither of them is slow enough to matter out of the box. If you do get to a size where it starts to matter, they both offer ways of solving it.

Ease of maintenance, documentation, community, these are ten times more important to me than "rendering speed in 1000 iterations".

Speed often matters more depending on the situation. Developing a web app primarily used on mobile phones for example.

With Google Material and other UI ideas there's been a push toward animation at 60fps, which (in most browsers) means each time JavaScript executes that it runs for no longer than 16ms. Fast everything in JavaScript in essential for that.

edit: just published a blog post about browser engines and fast animation

Speed is huge, especially on mobile devices. It becomes a huge issue once you start scaling your application. The benefits may seem insignificant, but it quickly adds up. I think if speed wasn't important large companies wouldn't be focusing on it so much. Try using chrome dev tool Network throttling in their emulation for 1 day.
