Closed Issue: Parse function in jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js performance improvement [308]

The jquery statement

$(selector).find(":input[data-val=true]").each(....) - line 173 jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js within the Parse(selector) method.

Provides better performance if it is re-written as a chained statement, oppose to as a single selector:
$(selector).find("input").filter["data-val=true]").each(..)

This is because it allows JQuery to use less of the Sizzle engine (which is known to be poor). On a large DOM, it has shown performance improvements of an order of magnitude firing the DOMContentLoaded event.

We have reduced the duration of our Document ready method from 700ms to 300ms.
