Hey everyone,
I have results of a few more speed tests that I ran this evening at
http://test.learningjquery.com/speed-test.htm
Method: I clicked 10 times on each query in Firefox 2.0 and Safari
2.0.4 (See HTML source for all code, markup, etc.) I recorded the
mode (most common value) and the range of values for each, all in
milliseconds.
@ FF2 / Safari2
1. $('#speech28')
- mode: 1 / 1
- range: 0-1 / 0-4
2. $('div#speech28')
- mode: 43 / 32
- range: 42-59 / 30-35
3. $('#final-speech div.final-dialog')
- mode: 5ms / 5ms
- range: 4-6 / 3-6
4. $('#final-speech .final-dialog')
- mode: 6 / 5
- range: 5-8 / 3-6
5. $('div.final-dialog')
- mode: 55 / 40
- range: 28-253 / 40-45
6. $('.final-dialog')
- mode: 101 / 51
- range: 83-306 / 51-68
***
Note that queries 5 and 6 have huge ranges in Firefox because of the
mysterious seventh click issue.
Looks like these tests confirm what we've all been saying on this
list about the relative speed of various selectors.
This has been a fascinating exercise. I'd love to hear people's
analysis, etc.
