Hi Abdul,
We've addressed this question several times and I'd ask that you do a search of the archives for more feedback.
Our selector performance is excellent across all browsers and we've not heard any complaints from companies such as the BBC, Digg, Google or Amazon about selector performance. We're currently focusing on enhancing other areas of jQuery but may revisit selector performance in the future.
Thanks, Rey... Abdul-Rahman Advany wrote:
Hey guys, To start, I really love JQuery and how it works and how you can extend it, I wouldn't replace that with something else anytime soon. Especially the community is great! But I was running http://www.domassistant.com/slickspeed/ and notices that: - DOMAssistant 2.7.1: 148 - jQuery 1.2.6: 161 - Prototype 1.6.0.2: 310 - Mootools 1.2b: 157 - ExtJS Core 2.0.2: 113 - Dojo 1.0.2: 106 - YUI 2.5.1: 378 I was just wondering, why is JQuery so much slower compared to Dojo or ExtJS? is it because of the stuff it provides out of the box after you have found a collection of objects? Its just my curiosity on why it isn't just easy do adopt the speed improvements of Dojo and ExtJS :) Regards, Abdul
