How to measure the perfomance of the jQuery code

Question

I know some selectors are faster than others, and of course our own methods can be faster or slower.

Is there any software/app that analyzes cpu usage or even is able to compare/benchmark among versions?

Answer 1

I'd recommend using JS Perf, which, given the appropriate html to work with, and a range of JavaScript approaches/'Test cases', will give a performance analysis of those approaches.

Answer 2

Heck yeah!

What is jsPerf?

jsPerf aims to provide an easy way to create and share test cases, comparing the performance of different JavaScript snippets by running benchmarks.
