[jQuery] IE6 - what's the absolute fastest way to append DOM nodes?

[morgancodes]

Hello,
I'm trying to squeeze out every last bit of performance I can from
IE6, and want to make sure there isn't a faster way than what I'm
doing.

I'm doing about 180 iterations of somethig like the following

parentElem = $("parentTable");
for(var i = 0; i<400; i++){
    $(tableRowHTML[i]).appendTo(parentElem)
}

There's an acceptable delay in FF and IE7 (no more than one second),
but up to 3.5 seconds in IE. Is there any way to do this faster?

thanks,

-Morgan
