Revision 9 of this benchmark created by gonchuki on

Description

Fine tuning the DOM method to yield better performance for this particular synthetic test.

Preparation HTML

<div id="main_node"></div>
<script>
  var node = document.getElementById('main_node'),
      fragment = document.createDocumentFragment();
  child = document.createElement('div');
</script>
