[jQuery] 1.3.1 is over 10x slower than 1.2.6

[jQuery] 1.3.1 is over 10x slower than 1.2.6


Hello,
I have an application that does lots of HTML injection, animation, and
manipulation, and I'm a long time user and fan of jQuery.
Recently I downloaded 1.3.1, and my app became really sluggish.
Normally it loads in under a second, but with 1.3.1 it takes over 3
seconds to load, and the animation is choppy.
The problem *really* shows up when I use firebug. Normally my app
loads in about 3-4 seconds in firebug, but the 1.3.1 library increases
the firebug load time to about 50 seconds (you read that right).
Here is a link to two screen shots of the firebug profiler. The first
screen shot is using 1.2.6:

The next link is the same profile (loading the app). The only
difference is it's using 1.3.1:

The profiler numbers show where the time is being spent.
Is anyone else having speed problems with the new 1.3 jQuery?
