jQuery convert .each() into for()
<p>I've found a jQuery plugin which does exactly what I want but it takes too long to do it.  I can see that there are instances of <code>.each()</code> being used which are 10 times slower than <code>for()</code> - item 3 in this <a href="http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/10-ways-to-instantly-increase-your-jquery-performance/" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a>.</p>

<p>What's the best way of converting those <code>.each</code> into <code>.for()</code> please?</p>

<p>E.g.:</p>

<pre><code>    $firstTdChildren = $fixedBody.find(firstTdChildrenSelector)
        .each(function(index) {
            helpers._fixHeightWithCss($(this), tableProps);
            helpers._fixWidthWithCss($(this), tableProps, tdWidths[index % settings.fixedColumns] );
    });
</code></pre>

<p>Many thanks.</p>
