Setup

old = _.extend({}, oldEvents);
    older = _.extend({}, olderEvents);
    master = _.extend({}, masterEvents);
    jquery = $({});
    
    numEvents = 3;
    numListeners = 100;
    
    _.times(numEvents, function(event) {
      _.times(numListeners, function() {
        older.bind("event" + event, function(){});
        old.on("event" + event, function(){});
        jquery.on("event" + event, function(){});
        master.on("event" + event, function(){});
        GS.on("event" + event, function() {});
      });
    });
