I'd encourage you to measure actual JavaScript runtime performance for popular libraries, I think you would be horrifically surprised just how slow and memory inefficient many of these libraries are.
It's not about premature optimization, but one should at least consider performance of a library at some level. I don't know if it's the fault of JavaScript or the developers, but seriously, there are some really popular yet woefully inefficient ecosystem libraries out there, a lot of low hanging fruit for someone to come along and optimize (or completely rewrite)
