Hi All,

I've conducted some very basic relative timings for JQuery vs XPath
selectors in Selenium, using the same rather old and difficult
frontend code as I used when baselining css selectors.

Code is as follows:

Use faster XPath library
sel.useXpathLibrary("javascript");
sel.isElementPresent("//descendant-or-self::*/descendant-"+
        "or-self::tab...@id='MVContentPredictionsTable']/tbody/tr[child::td]
[8]/td[5]/des"+
        "cendant-or-self::*");

sel.getText("//descendant-or-self::*/descendant-"+
        "or-self::tab...@id='MVContentPredictionsTable']/tbody/tr[child::td]
[8]/td[5]/des"+
        "cendant-or-self::*");

sel.isElementPresent("jquery=* table#MVContentPredictionsTable > tbody
> tr:has(td):eq(8) > td:eq(5)");
sel.getText("jquery=* table#MVContentPredictionsTable > tbody > tr:has
(td):eq(8) > td:eq(5)");

Performance for the above for both JQuery and css was appalling,
taking over 2 minutes in total, compared to 20secs for XPath.

The only way I could get JQ to respond in a decent time (4secs) was to
modify the selector to
"jquery=*#MVContentPredictionsTable > tbody > tr:has(td):eq(8) > td:eq
(5)"
but this did not find the correct element
