I'd imagine so. It's virtually impossible to get the elements that you
desire without taking more code to write it. Considering that the
optimal implementation can make so many shortcuts:
function getFirst(type) {
var cur = this.parentNode;
while ( cur != document.documentElement ) {
if ( cur.nodeName == type )
return cur;
cur = cur.parentNode;
}
}
The phrase "a little bit slower" is probably a safe way to describe
any JavaScript library or framework, since they all have to make
concessions to some degree.
