I agree. Good work, Yehuda!

Very good point. Before I threw the test page up there, I raised the
same issue (rather, I recalled that the issue had been raised on the
list before) about the times varying depending on page complexity.
With that in mind, how about this for a more robust test page:
1. start with a simple 3-column layout, plus header and footer, and
dump some lorem ipsum in for content.
2. have a form with
a. text field for DOM querying, like I have on my current test page.
b. textarea for additional markup, and an appendTo text field next to
it. That way, you could drop in as many extra DOM elements as you
want, wherever you want, and then test a query's speed.
If people think this would work and would be useful, I'd be happy to
build it.
