"I go in this order: Try to use querySelectorAll (IE 8, FF 3.1, Safari 3, Opera 10) then regular DOM with caching (FF 2-3, Opera 9), then regular DOM (IE 6-7). So yeah, no magic pixie caching dust for IE yet. The DOM modification events are fantastic here and IE doesn't have them. Right now the speed of the engine, in IE 6-7, is comparable to current jQuery - which is quite fast - just not 2-4x as fast. I won't release this engine until I can have an IE number that I'm proud of. I should note that the speed of the engine, without caching, is still faster than the major libraries - caching just makes it go "lightspeed" on these comparison tests." - John Resig
