FYI, some rough benchmarking in Safari using the benchmarking function of unit tests:
benchmark(function(){ var colors = $('blue red green violet'); }, 10000) benchmark(function(){ var colors = ['blue', 'red', 'green', 'violet']; }, 10000) Info: Operation finished 10000 iterations in 4.246s Info: Operation finished 10000 iterations in 3.179s So that's clearly not somewhere we should sacrifice readability for speed.
