Compared to other browsers, IE9 executes this script (for dynamic manipulation of DOM) with a very long running time. I am curious; in what ways would it impact the execution speed of next-generation rich applications? Other than this iterative test, is there any related real world webapp example, where we can observe the difference in performance? Also, is it the problem with their JS engine or the Layout engine?

Update:

The issue is resolve开发者_运维技巧d in IE10 RTM.

Use:

function testAppendFrag(div) {
    var docFrag=document.createDocumentFragment(),i=count;
    while(i--){
        docFrag.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));
    }
    div.appendChild(docFrag.cloneNode(true));
}
