Try wrapping strHTML in one single wrapper DIV before you insert it into the
DOM. I'll bet it will go a lot faster:
$('div.displayer').html( '<div>' + strHTML + '</div>' );
How's the timing on the for loop? Any browsers where it takes any
significant time? You may speed it up in some browsers by using an array
instead:
var n = v_foundarray.length;
var html = new Array( n );
for ( var k = 0; k < n; k++ ) {
html[k] = '<div>' + v_foundarray[k] + '</div>';
$('div.displayer').html( '<div>' + html.join('') + '</div>' );
One last thing... Is $('div.displayer') itself taking any significant time?
If it is, you could cache it once, or use an ID instead of a classname.
