    My first guess was .hasClass since it doesn’t have to work with custom attributes, but checks the native .className attribute.

    According to this test I am right. But didn’t think it would be THAT much (~90%) of a difference though.

    Checking these methods in the source (see src/data.js and src/attributes.js) makes it quite clear.
