One of the most heated and subjective conversations in the Selenium community is which locator strategy is better, often circling around two -- XPath and CSS.

To get a real taste of what the performance difference is between CSS and XPath, we will need to dig deeper. We'll do that by running everything from a local machine while using a performance benchmarking utility.

In the last tip I provided benchmarks that showed XPath and CSS performance across various browsers. Since then I've received feedback on some things that my test was missing -- most notably more browser coverage and testing against a larger and deeper page.
