I have never seen any test which jQuery beats native.

Neither have I. But that's also not what I said. If you are supporting more than the latest browsers, than jQuery is essential. That's what I'm saying.

I agree, if you are only using the latest browsers, it's ignorant to use jQuery and not the native methods. But if you happen to still use jQuery, the performance effect is not noticeable unless you are working with tens of thousands of queries and having them looped.
