Revision 34 of this benchmark created on

Setup

function Obj() {
          var that = "that";
    }
    Obj.prototype.target = function(test) {
       return test;
    };
    var yes_array = ["YES"];
    var yes_string = "YES";
    
    var scope = {};
    scope._tmp = Obj.prototype.target;
    
    var that = Obj.prototype;
    var wrapped = function(){
    that.target(yes_string);
    };
