Using jQuery what provides for faster object construction:

With the HTML code

$('<dd class="foo baz" id="bar"> foobar </dd>')

Or with the pure object/method variant

$('</dd>').addClass('foo').addClass('baz').id('bar').text('foobar')

I'm not sure how the internals work, feel free to supply a high level summary.
