Performance

I have the following two code blocks.

Code block 1

var checkboxes = $("div.c1 > input:checkbox.c2", "#main");
var totalCheckboxes = checkboxes.length;
var checkedCheckboxes = checkboxes.filter(":checked").length;

Code block 2

var totalCheckBoxes = $("div.c1 > input:checkbox.c2", "#main").length;
var checkedCheckBoxes = $("div.c1 > input:checkbox.c2:checked", "#main").length;

Which one of the above will be faster?

Thanks,

Rahul
