    In jQuery 1.4 the selector is checked if it is an id selector (like your #p1).

    • If it indeed is, the document.getElementId(...) is called and result is wrapped in jQuery utility object and returned.
    • If it is anything other than that, jQuery calls Sizzle which then does whatever it does to find the elements. And, judging from the source, this is pretty non-trivial stuff.
