micro-benchmarks like this _can_ be important. If there are functions which can be normalized in performance relative to other libraries it is foolish to not do so. In my first week with jQuery, I have seen a few visually sluggish behaviors that did not occur in Prototype or dojo!!..I will be spending time trying to pinpoint these issues. But the bottom line is if it looks sluggish to the end user, its a problem. Long live the micro-benchmark!! ;-) ke han
