title: jquery - fastest way to remove all rows from a very large table
body: <p>I thought this might be a fast way to remove the contents of a very large table (3000 rows):</p>
  
  <pre><code>$jq("tbody", myTable).remove();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it's taking around five seconds to complete in firefox. Am I doing something dumb (aside from trying to load 3000 rows in to a browser)? Is there faster way to do it?</p>
