Revision 304 of this benchmark created by Glen on

Preparation HTML

<script>
  // Populate the base array
  var arr1 = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    arr1[i] = i;
  }

  function someFn(ix) {
    return ix * 5 + 1 / 3 * 8;
  }
</script>

Ready to run.

TestOps/sec
For loop, basic
arr = arr1.splice(0);
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  someFn(arr[i]);
}
ready
Without braces
arr = arr1.splice(0);
for(var i = arr.length; --i >= 0; someFn(arr[i]));
ready
For length !== 0
arr = arr1.splice(0);
for(var l = arr.length; l-- !== 0;) {
  someFn(arr[l]);
}
ready
shift()
arr = arr1.splice(0);
while (i = arr.shift()) {
  someFn(i);
}
ready
shift while with length test
arr = arr1.splice(0);
while (arr.length) {
  i = arr.shift();
  someFn(i);
}
ready
While length--
arr = arr1.splice(0);
var l = arr.length;
while(l--) {
  someFn(arr[l]);
}
ready
For length--
arr = arr1.splice(0);
for(var l = arr.length; l--;) {
  someFn(arr[l]);
}
ready
