Get elements by tag name

Benchmark created by David Mark on

Description

Constructs similar high-level objects, wrapped around an array of element references

Point is that you can't match the example My Library pattern (or performance) with jQuery as jQuery has only one way to retrieve element references.

Also, jQuery is using QSA (not doing any real work) to run the query. This is a bad state of affairs as QSA is not compatible with jQuery's legacy query code (not even close). QSA also requires a lot of feature testing (which jQuery does not have) to avoid cross-browser issues.
