For the sake of maintainability and reuseability, inline events are a poor decision if you're using a robust library such as jQuery. A lot of the jQuery source code is aimed at traversing, manipulating, and hooking the DOM events. Using jQuery and inline events is like buying a ferrari and hooking it up to a horse to pull it.
Do you have an example of a large, complex page where jQuery is too slow to list inline events? I've never even heard such an indictment against event handling outside of the markup.
