I searched the group for this and came across my own old post (http:// groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/msg/18d7fa95c5f01d2d)
I've noticed that when displaying a large number of elements into a page, it takes a bit of time to render. but in order to use document.write, I would have to write to an iframe, and I don't want to do that. is there a particuarly efficient way to populate a page with results in jquery? I can't afford a 2.5 second lag. any ideas much appreciated.
