I have a jQuery selector that is running way too slow on my unfortunately large page:

$("#section").find(":visible:input").filter(":first").focus();

Is there a quicker way to select the first visible input without having to find ALL the visible inputs and then filtering THAT selection for the first? I want something like :visible:input:first but that doesn't seem to work.
