Watir object processing performance issue. How to make a Nokogiri html table into an array?

The following works, but always very slow, apparently stop my cleaning program and the Firefox or Chrome browser for whole minutes on the page:

pp recArray = $browser.table(:id,"recordTable").to_a

Getting text from an HTML table or html source is quick:

htmlcode = $browser.table(:id,"recordTable").html  # .text shows only plaintext portion like lynx

How can I create the same recArray (each element of <TR>) using, for example, a Nokogiri object containing only an html table?

recArray = Nokogiri::HTML(htmlcode).

Do you want every tr in the table?

Nokogiri::HTML($browser.html).css('table[@id="recordTable"] > tr')

This gives a NodeSet, which may be more useful than Array. Of course there is still to_a

Nokogiri, .text.
