Performance of jQuery Selectors with ID

Question

I know in jQuery if we use ID to select elements,it\'s so efficient.I have a question about this selectors:

please consider this 3 selectors:

Answer 1

this is the way to stop times between some javascript calls

selectorTimes = [];
var start = new Date().getTime();
$('#MyElement')
selectorTimes.push(new Date().getTime()-start);

start = new Date().getTime()
$('#Mytbl #MyElement')
selectorTimes.push(new Date().getTime()-start);

start = new Date().getTime()
$('#Mytbl .MyClass')
selectorTimes.push(new Date().getTime()-start);

console.log(selectorTimes);

i think the second selector is not efficient, if you have a domid select this directly: $('#MyElement')
