Array vs Object Setter (v8)

Revision 8 of this benchmark created on

Description

JavaScript arrays are basically just objects with integer property names. Is there any performance difference when accessing an array vs an object?

Setup

a= [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
    a2 = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]);
    o= {"a":1, "b":2, "c":3, "d":4, "e":5, "f": 6, "g": 7, "h":8, "i":9, "j": 10};
    o2= {"1":1, "2":2, "3":3, "4":4, "5":5, "6":6, "7":7, "8":8, "9":9, "10":10};
