Well the problem could be with the plug-ins themselves, it's more than likely the selectors you're using--especially if you've got a page with lots of DOM elements. When you have tons of DOM elements on the page, the making sure you're using efficient selectors because extremely important. I'd start off by just testing the time it's taking for your selectors to find all the matching elements. Being more specific in your selector doesn't always mean it's more efficient--sometimes it can add a lot of overhead. -Dan
