jQuery appending an array of elements

Question

For the purpose of this question lets say we need to append() 1000 objects to the body element.

You could go about it like this:

Answer 1

I would use native Javascript, normally much faster:

var el = document.getElementById('the_container_id');
var aux;
for(x = 0; x < 1000; x++) {
    aux = document.createElement('div');
    aux.innerHTML = x;
    el.appendChild(aux);
}

EDIT:

There you go a jsfiddle with different options implemented. The @jackwander's solution is, clearly, the most effective one.
