Hi Dan,
Thanks for the info. I'm working on increasing the specificity of the
selectors, but it's still too many darn dom elements. There might be 3000
bindings that need to happen. Next step is to do the old fashioned binding
right in the html.

Josh,
Klaus' post is a good example of the "specifity" I was referring to in my
post. Basically writing selectors that are much more specific and allow
jQuery to do less parsing work.

Haven't tested in IE but took a quick look at your script. You could
speed up your queries if that is the problem. Instead of $(".additem")
add a type selector. Assuming that element in question is an anchor:
$('a.additem')
That reduces the number of elements that have to be searched through for
a class. In case of the selector '.additem' it is every single element
in the document.
Even better if you have context...:
$('#fragmentofpage a.additem')
or if you want to reuse that context:
var context = $('#fragmentofpage');
$('a.additem', context)...
$('a.otheritem', context)...
