Well, $( $(x)[2] ) is exactly the same as $(x).eq(2), and eq() is way
slower cause it needs to preserve the object and stuff. The point
everyone missed is that $(x)[2] gives you a DOM element, not a jQuery
object, that's why you need to "rewrap" it in jQuery.
Also, IDs should be unique (only one #text element), so you can
simplify your selector to $( $('#text p')[2] ).after(data) or $('#text
p').eq(2).after(data);
