[jQuery] Optimized Function to transfer Array to Listbox

[JQueryProgrammer]

I have two array of items containing the values and text to be
inserted in a Listbox. I had written the function as:

array2Listbox = function(objListBox, arrValue, arrText) {
        var oNewOption;

        return jQuery.each(arrValue, function(i) {
                oNewOption = new Option(arrText[i], arrValue[i]);
                objListBox[objListBox.length] = oNewOption;
        });
};

However I know jQuery would be much slower than direct for loop in
this case where the array size is approx 6000 elements. Can anyone
tell me a faster way to loop through the array and insert the elements
in Listbox.
