Hmm, with the exception of lodash and the `for` loop, the rest of those results surprise me. But the reason I say that anyways is because it's part of the standard library. I would also go with a standard library method over one in a third party library (unless there is another reason not to). Especially in node land, where there is the potential to use code on client and server (though that doesn't apply to this particular case).

If we were actually worried about performance, the `forEach` vs `$.each` is negligible. But it really hurts when doing a DOM insertion on every iteration of a list. You'd see a big gain by mapping over the list and doing the insertion once with the result of the `map` call. In addition, selector caching should be big gain too.
