TestOps/sec
Declare in a loop with one statement
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
  var x = 1, y = 2, z = {}, a = {};
}
ready
Declare outside loop
var x, y, z, a, i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
  x = 1;
  y = 2;
  z = {};
  a = {};
}
ready
Declare in a loop with multiple statements
var x, y, z, a, i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
  var x = 1;
  var y = 2;
  var z = {};
  var a = {};
}
ready
Declare in for loop
for (var i = 0,x = 1, y = 2, z = {}, a = {};
