Look at the measurement section here: http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/docs.php My test func looks like this: $(function() { $("#go").click(function() { window.console.time("mike"); var x = $('#theform').serialize(); window.console.timeEnd("mike"); alert (x); return false; }); }); I'm alerting the response just to make sure each serialize method is working correctly. I don't know that this is a "fair" test either, but it's one data point anyway. Mike _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
