HTML Preparation code:

<div id='test'></div>

Tests:

append
var newElement = document.createElement("div"); newElement.id = "testing" for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { var newElementPart = document.createElement("div"); newElementPart.classList.add("testClass"); newElement.append(newElementPart); } document.getElementById("test").append(newElement);
appendChild
var newElement = document.createElement("div"); newElement.id = "testing" for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { var newElementPart = document.createElement("div"); newElementPart.classList.add("testClass"); newElement.appendChild(newElementPart); } document.getElementById("test").appendChild(newElement);
insertAdjacentHTML
html = "<div id='testing'>" for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { html += "<div class='testClass'></div>"; } html += "</div>"; document.getElementById("test").insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", html);
DOMParser
html = "<div id='testing'>" for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { html += "<div class='testClass'></div>"; } html += "</div>"; document.getElementById("test").append((new DOMParser()).parseFromString(html, "text/html").body.childNodes);
createContextualFragment
html = "<div id='testing'>" for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { html += "<div class='testClass'></div>"; } html += "</div>"; document.getElementById("test").append(document.createRange().createContextualFragment(html));
