Erik I was under the impression that the exact opposite was true for
searches by class: that including the tag slows it down.
I may be mistaken, you'd have to check the list archives or perhaps check

ID is found by using document.getElementById(), which is probably
about as fast a DOM operation as can be had. Use ID for sure.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, it helps class searches a lot if you also
include the tag that you're looking for: $('div.someClass') instead of
just $('.someClass').
