## JavaScript libraries
-Here are some JavaScript benchmarks using `node.js`.
-They can be run using `make benchjs`. The source text is
-the CommonMark `README.md` file, but can be configured by
-setting the `BENCHINP` environment variable.

+Here are some focused benchmarks of four JavaScript libraries.
+(using version available on 17 Jan 2015). They test performance
+on different kinds of Markdown texts. With the exception of
+the first (the `README.md` from this project), the samples are taken
+from the [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it)
+repository. Results show a ratio of ops/second (higher is better)
+against the slowest implementation (always showdown).

+To run these:
+
+1. `npm install marked showdown markdown-it`
+2. Create a `samples` subdirectory and copy the samples you
+ want to test into it.
+3. `sh tools/detailed_benchmarks.sh`
