[AskJS] Looking for the leanest framework in the "JS Framework Benchmark" Top 15 - what's the closest thing to Vanilla speed with a modern DX?

I'm looking for the fastest framework in the Krausest "JS Framework Benchmark" Top 15 that doesn't feel like writing assembly.

Goal: Framework performance with a clean, modern DX. I want to avoid heavy abstractions, especially since I'm using AI to scaffold logic and I need the code to be short, readable, and easy to audit.

Of the top 15, which one feels like a "real" framework but keeps the code lean and fast?

I'd appreciate some recommendations.
