FYI, I made this jsPerf test case with some alternatives a while back: http://jsperf.com/removing-event-props

Perhaps make this a bit safer with:
(function(p){p[17]==="layerX"&&p.splice(17, 2);})(window.jQuery&&jQuery.event.props||[]);

Still assumes if jQuery is defined, it'll have the .event namespace, but still.
