jQuery vs. Prototype vs. _j (v36)

Revision 36 of this benchmark created by LZAntal on

Description

This is a comparison of selector engine speed between jQuery 2.0.3 and Prototype 1.6.1 and _j 0.4.6

Curious to see how _jEach performs with jQuery fastEach. So looks like my while loop got replaced with a for when it got minified so rewrote it to see if that makes any difference.

jQuery.fn.thisEach = function(fn){//fastEach
var t = jQuery([0]), l = this.length, i = -1, e;
while(
++i < l
&& (e = t[0] = this[i])
&& fn.call(t, i, e) !== false
