Use event delegation, will give you better performance:
$(document).mouseup(function(e){
if (conditionsMet)
$(e.target).trigger('customevent', [customdata]);
});
If you want to stick with binding all elements, try:
$("*").mouseup(function(e) {
if (conditionsMet)
$(this).trigger('customevent', [customData]);
e.stopPropagation();
});
