td:nth-of-type(2) vs td:first-child +td

[tomasz86]

I’m wondering whether there’s any difference in speed between the two selectors. Which one is faster when it comes to pure performance?

It’s important for me because this is applied to hundreds of elements and I’ve already experienced drastic decrease in speed by applying custom background through other CSS3 selectors like :before or :after.

The :nth-of-type selector is also said to be slow but how does it perform compared to the other one?

Must be one heck of a complicated site.

Is this a forum by any chance…in my experience those are the kind of sites that generate these terrible table structures?
