What is faster for or each?

I have an AJAX + jQuery example, where on success I have my data array. For my experiment in Firebug, I didn't see much difference. Which is faster, for or each in jQuery?

for example:

for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    options += '<option value="' + data[i].c_id + '">'+ data[i].c_name +'</option>';
}

each example:

$(data).each(function() {
    options += '<option value="' + $(this).attr('c_id') + '">' + $(this).attr('c_name') + '</option>';
});

In this case for loop would definetly be faster. You would generally prefer using the .each() of jquery when iterating over the html tags in your page. Jquery may not always be faster than core javasript, but its definetly much more cleaner and developer friendly ;)

definitely for loop is faster. but there will be very small difference. it only make difference if you have very large data.
