Inline events handlers are a whole different way of doing that. A bad
and old one by the way.
The first approach you wrote, actually goes thru 2 iterations, while
one is enough:
$('div').click(function(){
alert('You clicked me: ' + this.id + '!')
});
If you're REALLY worried about perfomance, you should google "event
delegation".
