jQuery string manipulation performance vs. PHP
<p>Im building a custom jquery modal box that loads an external html template file that contains variables that need to be replaced.  For instance: [user-name]</p>

<p><strong>I know I have 2 options for modifying the template file:</strong></p>

<ul>
<li>use find and replace in jquery</li>
<li>process the template server side and
simply send the result to jquery</li>
</ul>

<p>From a user performance stand point, which would be faster?</p>
