I would restate that a bit:
*Even if* your DOM tree is huge and you're trying to select something
massive in one go, the performance difference between a simple jQuery
ID selector (e.g. $("#myID")) vs. a native getElementById selector
should be very negligible, because jQuery uses that same native
selector.

Anyway, as you said, if Jennifer would post a link to a test page, or at
least some specific code that seems to be slow, we could take a look at it
and probably speed it up quite a bit.
