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

For loop, basic
var sum1 = 0;
var length1 = arr.length;
for (var i1 = 0; i1 < length1; i1++) {
  sum1 += someFn(arr[i1]);
}
ready
While length--
var i2 = arr.length;
var sum2 = 0;
while(i2--) {
  sum2 += someFn(arr[i2]);
}
ready
