Using jQuery 1.3.1, This question refers to the ListNav plugin found here: http://www.ihwy.com/Labs/jquery-listnav-plugin.aspx
I've got a fairly large dataset on my page consisting of ~1000 LI elements. Each letter of the alphabet contains ~40 LI elements. Each LI element contains a varying amount of chars, but lets say ~70 chars. In FF3, it takes about 3-4 seconds for the plugin to index the list. In IE7, it takes about 1 second. In IE6, it takes about 1 second. In Safari 3.1 & Google Chrome, it takes about 14 seconds. Why does it take so long in Safari 3.1 & Google Chrome? URL for testing: http://www.simshaun.com/listnav.php
