I have a page with a list of items. Items have several actions assigned to them. (see screenshot).

One may choose to directly click on an icon next to each row or check a checkbox on the left hand side and click action above the list.

The issue is that after clicking an item OR checking a checkbox of several items and then clicking an action there is a lag (a second or so). Imagine having 100 rows or more.

Script:

 $("a.action:not(.remove)").click(function (e) { // .remove => do not execute on download tasks page
            var selected = new Array(); // array to hold selections or clicks
            var obj = $(this), objData = obj.data();
            e.preventDefault();
            if (!obj.hasClass('disablelink')) {                
                if (objData.ajaxMachineid) {
                    selected.push(objData.ajaxMachineid);
                } else {
                    $("input.checkbox:checkbox:checked:not(.checkall)").each(function () {
                        var checkbox = $(this), machineId = checkbox.val(), packageId = objData.ajaxPackageid.removeSpecialChars().toUpperCase(), operation = objData.ajaxType;
                        var $row = $("#" + machineId + packageId.removeSpecialChars().toUpperCase());
                        if ($row.length) {
                            $row.has("a[data-ajax-type=" + operation + "]:not(.hide)").length ? selected.push(machineId) : $(this).attr('checked', false);
                        }
                    });
                }
                if (selected.length > 0) {
                    // do something more here blah blah blah
                };
            }
            $("input.checkall").attr("checked", false);
        });

Sample HTML of one row:

<tr id="1960AGISGIGAMEM22220204" class="">
                        <td class="checkbox">
                                     <input type="checkbox" value="1960" class="checkbox">     

                        </td>
                        <td class="">
                            <p><a href="/Devices/View/1960">GD009000246</a></p>
                        </td>
                        <td class="platform">PCGames</td>
                        <td class="cat">Up</td>
                        <td class="platform">

                        </td>
                        <td class="date">10.48.1.236</td>   
                        <td class="options clearfix">

                    </tr>
