I've got a jQuery 1.2.6 script that attaches a click handler to every hyperlink on a page. We have a small number of pages where the number of link are massive (5000+, and yes I know this is ridiculous). On these pages, when I try to navigate AWAY from them, Firefox will be unresponsive for a couple of minutes. I've determined the length of the delay is directly proportional to the number of my click handlers. I've tried 1.3.1, but have gotten only marginally better results. I don't see the issue in IE or Safari. Any ideas?
I've tried doing a manual unbind on the links in window.onunload, to no avail. - Dave
