Array.prototype.slice.call() vs [].slice.call() nested (v20)

Revision 20 of this benchmark created by Eser Ozvataf on

Description

caching the prototype lookup should be fastest... Would it be even faster if we cache the call too...

Preparation HTML

<script>
var slice = Array.prototype.slice,
    _slice = [].slice,
    wslice = window.Array.prototype.slice;

var items = new Array(100);
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    items[i] = i;
}

function nonnative_slice(obj) {
            var items = new Array(obj.length);
            for (var i = obj.length; i--; ) {
                items[i] = items[i];
            }

            return items;
}
</script>
