  1. @John,

    You’re awesome! Also, I definitely liked how you kicked but against Dojo’s dumb “we’re better” post the other day.

    I’m looking forward to all of these performance increases in the next release of JQuery.

    Also, in case you haven’t noticed – a similar thread is going on in the forums about noticed performance degradation in IE since 1.4 has been released.

    Take care :)
