Thanks again. It's just interesting to see. I think I will try to come up with some test myself, Last summer I was working on a web app. and used jQuery quite a bit. and it really helped when I did something like <code>$('#id div.feeditem')</code> instead of just $('.feeditem') impoved the whole loding of the page quite a bit. But if I do any more testing I will let you know. And Merry Xmas No thank you Karl

Please see my update to this entry for benchmark information. Adam, I'm glad you're finding these tips helpful. Feel free to request any information that you want to do about this awesome library. If I can't answer it, I'm sure that someone else in the jQuery community can. enej, thanks for the suggestion. Please see my update to this entry for benchmark information.
