I was just playing with selector and tryied to cache the results and to do some benchmarks. The result is amazing.
http://dev.ajaxsoft.de/cachedQuery/ http://dev.ajaxsoft.de/slickspeed/ The main problem is DOM manipulations. This was already discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-dev/browse_thread/thread/bf2a17146c5c1ca5/d9465c32562af428?lnk=gst&q=DOMNodeInserted#d9465c32562af428 I have tried both tests, and the result is exactly the same. http://hanblog.info/test/sizzle/sizzle-perf.html and http://hanblog.info/test/sizzle/nosizzle-perf.html Are the browsers now much better or the tests broken? If DOMNodeInserted and DOMNodeRemoved are still too havy, we could use just additional parameter (or something else) by the query e.g. jQuery ('selector', document, true) to define if the query can be cached or not. This could improve the performance of a lot of "dirty" written plugins etc. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
