Empty array (v122)

Revision 122 of this benchmark created by Mientjan on

Description

It is suggested that popping is a very efficient way to empty an array. Hence this test.

Setup

var arr = [{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"},{a: 1, b: "2"}];
