Can't remember where I heard it, so decided to check.

Found this S.O thread http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10296791/backbone-js-perf... (different code, same concept) and decided to benchmark: Unqueued DOM insertion: http://jsfiddle.net/arkxp/9/ Queued DOM insertion: http://jsfiddle.net/arkxp/8/

The latter is consistently faster, and while the difference isn't a lot with this example, given a more complex insertion it'll mount up.

That is awesome. Thanks for digging it up

There's at least two projects I have going at the day job which have been experiencing slowdown - and I had no idea that small-batch DOM interaction was the culprit.

Looks like I've got some optimizin' to do.
