If you bleeding-edgers do an SVN update you'll notice that there's a new selectors branch. The version of selector.js contained therein is another major advancement from the previous version (attached to patch #7658). Christophe's excellent code reviews and revisions have been indispensible; now that this code is in SVN I hope all interested Core team members will pitch in.
You'll notice that selector.js now has many, many more lines of code than it did before. In the name of optimization I was forced to write bare-bones versions of functions that exist elsewhere in the framework (document.getElementsByClassName, Element.next/prev, etc.) so that I can squeeze every possible millisecond out of the matching logic. Until it's abundantly clear which are worthwhile and which are extraneous, I'm simply writing code for every possible optimization I can think of. Happily, the benefits are being reaped in the benchmarks: see the updated test page (http://andrewdupont.net/test/ double-dollar) for illustration. I'd really like to go into more detail about all this, but my eyes refuse to remain open. I might try to write more tomorrow morning.
