IE 8 slow warning on page with many elements

[GoogleCodeExporter]

jquery-translate version:1.3.9
jQuery version:1.5
browser: IE 8
OS: Windows 7 32bit

How do you handle the IE 8 Slow script warning? Has this happened to anyone 
else?

I have a large page to translate (the <asp:Literal ID="Literal1" 
runat="server">null</asp:Literal>        sets the language in the codebehind to 
whatever selected)

I do it with the below code 

<script type="text/javascript" >
    jQuery.noConflict();
    jQuery(document).ready(function () {
        var jQuerydestLang = null;

        jQuery.translate(function () {
            jQuery.fn.translateTo = function (destLang) { jQuery('#translateit').translate('english', destLang, { not: ' #ctl00_Menu1_ctl06_HyperLink2,#ctl00_fname,#ctl00_ftel,#ctl00_femail,#fmessage,#HyperLink9 ,#HyperLink10 ,#HyperLink11 ,#HyperLink12 ,#HyperLink13 ,#HyperLink14   ' }); return true; };
            jQuerydestLang = '<asp:Literal ID="Literal1" runat="server">null</asp:Literal>';

            if (jQuerydestLang) { jQuery.fn.translateTo(jQuerydestLang) };
        });
    });
</script>

On some pages that can happen, just use the async:true option! It will take 
more time but won't freeze the browser. You can probably set it to false on 
other browsers if they don't complain about this. Also, you can try the 
jQuery('#translateit').translateTextNodes() method instead of 
jQuery('#translateit').translate().

It really depends on the actual markup, but that's why translateTextNodes 
exists, it has much less computational complexity.
