Benchmark: createElement vs cloneNode vs innerHTML for multi elements

Tests:

createElement
const list = []; let n = 0; while(true) { n++; const div = document.createElement('div'); const div2 = document.createElement('div'); const div3 = document.createElement('div'); const p = document.createElement('p'); div2.classList.add('two'); div3.classList.add('three'); p.classList.add('font-bold'); p.textContent = 'Hello!'; div.appendChild(div2); div2.appendChild(div3); div3.appendChild(p); list.push(div); if(n===100000) break; }
cloneNode (deep)
const list = []; let n = 0; const div = document.createElement('div'); const div2 = document.createElement('div'); const div3 = document.createElement('div'); const p = document.createElement('p'); p.classList.add('font-bold'); p.textContent = 'Hello!'; div.appendChild(div2); div2.appendChild(div3); div3.appendChild(p); while(true) { n++; list.push(div.cloneNode(true)); if(n===100000) break; }
innerHTML
const list = []; let n = 0; while(true) { n++; const div = document.createElement('div'); div.innerHTML = '<div class="two"><div class="three"><p class="font-bold">Hello!</p></div></div>'; list.push(div); if(n===100000) break; }
