Info

Curious to see if there is any perf diff between querySelectorAll('.cat.bobtail') and querySelectorAll('[data-cat="bobtail"]'), because I would rather use more meaningful data- attribute than some arbitrary class names.

Preparation code

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="sektion">
</div>
<script>
var f = document.createDocumentFragment(), div, sektion = document.getElementById('sektion');
for (var i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
  div = document.createElement('div');
  div.className = 'foo bar'+i;
  div.setAttribute('sekt','bar'+i);
  f.appendChild(div);
};
sektion.appendChild(f);
</script>
