    Use split().

    For example:

    If you know it is separated by a single space, avoid using a regular expression with the following:

    var variables = delimited_string.split(' ');

    var str = "I am confused".split(/\s/g)

So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
