Thanks to John and the jQuery team, the problem was identified and found. It turns out I had a bad FireFox profile. For some reason, still unknown to everyone, if you see tremendous speed problems (in and out of firebug), try creating a new FireFox profile (firefox.exe -p), and use that one instead. You'll have to add back your bookmarks, options, and add-ons, but it's what fixed my 10x speed problem.
v1.3 is still somewhat slower than v1.2, but they're both well within an acceptable margin. The 50 second load time for 1.3 is now down to 800ms, and the 4 second load time for 1.2 is now in the 500 ms range. Again, thanks to the jQuery team for helping with this, and I hope this can help others with a similar problem. -Loren On Jan 22, 2:14 pm, Loren <lorenw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you - it would good to know if I'm the only one experiencing > this. > > My app is nearly all HTML injected, and it would be interesting to > know if other highly DHTML apps are experiencing the same issue. > > -Loren > > On Jan 22, 12:54 pm, Alexsandro_xpt <bagul...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Interesting your test.... > > I will test my apps > > > On 22 jan, 08:43, Loren <lorenw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > I have an application that does lots of HTML injection, animation, and > > > manipulation, and I'm a long time user and fan of jQuery. > > > > Recently I downloaded 1.3.1, and my app became really sluggish. > > > Normally it loads in under a second, but with 1.3.1 it takes over 3 > > > seconds to load, and the animation is choppy. > > > > The problem *really* shows up when I use firebug.
