Quick Answer
Large DOM manipulation optimizations: use .detach() to remove elements from the DOM, manipulate them in memory, then re-attach (avoids repeated reflows). Build HTML strings and inject once with .html() instead of appending one node at a time. Use document.createDocumentFragment() for bulk insertions. Process off-screen elements - attach to a hidden div, manipulate, then move to visible area.
Answer
Cache selectors to avoid repeated lookups. Use document fragments or HTML strings before inserting into DOM. Batch DOM updates to reduce reflows and repaints.
