replace all a link to touchstart

replace all a link to touchstart

Hi All,

Because of the standard a link will have approximately 300-400ms delay, many people suggest to use touchstart.

My question is how to I utilise this touchstart, I tried 
  1. $('a').bind('touchstart', function(e){
  2. $(this).trigger('click');
  3. e.preventDefault();
  4. });
but doesn't look it boost the performance. 

My question is did I do this right?
