JQuery :: Row Highlighting Slow On Large Tables?

I am pulling data from a database and putting it into a table, i'm using the following statement to add row hightlighting to make it easy to read. Everthing works fine with short tables, but for larger tables the highlighting lags severely, aside from manually adding the mouseover/mouseout directly in the output, is there any way to make this faster?

$("#totalcalldata tr").mouseover(function(){$(this).addClass("rowHilight");}).mouseout(function(){$(this).removeClass("rowHilight");});
