Bind the click element to the body, and let event delegation / bubbling do its job. This way you have only one event listener. The function it runs can then check the clicked element against a jQuery filter with .is() and run stuff if necessary.
Im really busy now, so I'd just point you to check out something I wrote earlier (considering rebinding stuff for ajax-loaded links, since this also solves that): http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/da8d6815e14b93a3/14805d2432ed0a61?lnk=st&q=juha+suni+event+bubbling&rnum=2#14805d2432ed0a61 I'll gladly tell more if that doesn't help. That should however give you a big performance boost, since at no point are you really looping through all the DOM items, and their amount shouldn't really have an effect.
