Description

jQuery 1.8.1 is significantly slower in IE7 on Windows XP SP3 than version 1.7.1.

I'm not even sure where I should start to help with debugging this issue. Any guidance would be helpful so that I can provide better details for this ticket.

I did some additional testing. jQuery 1.8.0 is significantly faster than jQuery 1.8.1. Something changed in jQuery 1.8.1 that is causing this problem.

Care to share these tests with the rest of the class?

Please do test with http://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js to see if it is still a problem.

This is a corporate app that I am working on. The information that I can share is limited. Doing something as simple as selecting a dropdown or checking a check box is slow.

Will do. I'll report back what I find and hopefully I can setup a simple test that we can use too.

How does that preclude providing a reduced performance case? Everyone here is a volunteer and we simply don't have the time or resources to attempt blindly recreating your performance issues.

I don't experience any problem with http://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js. It seems to perform the same way that version 1.8.0 is. I can revert to version 1.8.0 for now. Do you have a rough idea when version 1.8.2 will be out? Do you still need a test case since it appears this issue will be fixed in version 1.8.2?

No test case required. 1.8.2 should be out within a couple of weeks.

Hey there, just want to add that we are experiencing problems with JQuery 1.8.1 on IE7 apps too (we use compatibility mode). It's overall slowness. It doesn't happens with 1.8 or previous versions.
