Ok, just had a quick look through the code, and my js is... not great... but I wonder if we could (may be lazily when we first traverse looking for selectors) hash element references based on selectors. That *should* save traversals in subsequent calls to querySelectorAll. That being said, I'm not entirely sure I can understand how that code does its job so I may be missing something important there.
