[jQuery] Slow jQuery Event Cleanup in Firefox
Let me start by saying that I am doing something rather unorthodox
with jQuery, and I realize that this is probably outside the realm of
what is reasonable.
I have a 65x65 HTML table, giving me 4225 TD cells.
I am making each of them clickable with the following code:
$('td').click(function () {
// do something
});
It works wonderfully in all browsers (well, IE is a little slow, but
it's IE).
When I go to close this page, Safari and Opera close almost instantly,
IE pauses for a moment and then closes, but Firefox takes sometimes 10
seconds or more to close the tab, causing the browser to lock for that
time.
I traced the lock into the jQuery cleanup code for event handling.
Does anyone know why this is so slow on Firefox?
