I have an open pull request at https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/pull/59 that is an attempt at fixing jQuery Ticket #6863, Faster Sizzle.getText(), http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/6863.
Lately there is voting on the bug for including it in jQuery 1.7 and most are +1 only if the performance improvements are demonstrated. I setup a jsPerf that shows the across-the-board speedup at http://jsperf.com/sizzle-gettext-bugfix-6863.
If someone could take a look at these and provide some feedback, I would appreciate it. There are a couple of questionable changes that may need some discussion and they are noted on the pull request at https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/pull/59#issuecomment-1076120.
Thanks! I appreciate any feedback.
