So it's better to iterate over the children by hand than to use a NodeList? I've been noticing that (for example) removing all the items in a NodeList seems to take longer than I'd hoped. We're migrating some of our code from using SAX and a DIY tree structure to manipulations of a DOM tree, and I certainly don't want it to perform slower. Is there a DOM performance-FAQ or similar I should be reading?
