What is faster? jQuery css(), jQuery addclass() or just css

Question

Ok in this case I ONLY focus on speed.

What is faster?

$('#header').css({'background':'#ff0000','width':'100px','height':'100px'});
$('#header').addClass('header');
Just use #header in css

I can't get the answer by using FireBug.

What is the faster : put a rock on the table, or give this rock to a third person, and ask him to put it on the table ? You're using a useless middleman in both first and second points. — zessx

Mmmh right, I didn't thought that way. But you'll always need a CSS file (well, in 99.99999% of cases), then it'll be faster to use this already-loaded-css than JS. — zessx

Just use Embedded CSS, that is #header in css on our page. If you try to apply CSS using JavaScript, your page may not display correctly if JavaScript on browser is disabled. You may use external CSS file, embedded css on head and the inline CSS.

Always give priority to pure HTML and CSS. Trust me, its faster.
