Quick question:
$(".class > .otherClass tr#id td#id") into $("#id").id(".class >
.otherClass tr#id td")
Does this work? Or should the function be 'is' not 'id'?
$(".class > .otherClass tr#id td#id") into $("#id").is(".class >
.otherClass tr#id td")
I'm just wondering because I thought the 'id' function is used to set
the 'id' attribute of an element.

calls the javascript function getElementById so that is the fastest.

is slow because jquery gets all the tags first and then searches
for the id
A possible way to speed up $("tag#id") is to do $("#id").is("tag")
That will first run getElementById, and then test if it matches the
selector.
You would probably see dramatic speed gains by converting something like:
$(".class > .otherClass tr#id td#id") into $("#id").id(".class >
.otherClass tr#id td")
since a search by ID at any point is really just a search by ID which
also tests whether that node matches the early selectors/filters.

the performance depends on the context
Well sort of. $(".class", context) where context is $("#id")[0] is
the same thing as $("#id .class")
> 4, $('#id .class')
> 5, $('.class1 .class2')
4 is faster than 5 because of the getElementById function
Indeed. 4 is way faster than 5. Anytime you can narrow something down
by ID, do it. getElementById is blazingly fast, and will help all around.
This is was i understood from the answers. Correct me if i made a
mistake somewhere.
