createTextNode
var list = [], n = 0; while(true) { n++; list.push(document.createTextNode('div')); if(n===100000) break; }
cloneNode
var list = [], n = 0, node = document.createTextNode('asdf'); while(true) { if(node.textContent !== 'div'){ node.textContent = 'div' } n++; list.push(node.cloneNode(true)); if(n===100000) break; }
cloneNode without validations
