Does Jquery work well in quirks mode?

Question

For reasons beyond my control, the site works in quirks mode. Will Jquery help me in this situation?

I expect the jquery developers concentrate on strict mode today - the mode of the future. On the other hand, all those libraries once started to ease the pain of working in quirks mode.

By some accounts, it works in quirks mode but the performance is horrible, see:
