for-in versus Object.keys(..).forEach(..) (v13)

Revision 13 of this benchmark created on

Description

Testing if the perf hit for Object.keys(..).forEach(..) is enough to matter as compared to for-in.

<script>
// pre-ES5 polyfill for Object.keys()
Object.keys=Object.keys||function(o,k,r){r=[];for(k in o)r.hasOwnProperty.call(o,k)&&r.push(k);return r}

// pre-ES5 polyfill for Array.prototype.forEach()
Array.prototype.forEach||(Array.prototype.forEach=function(a,b){for(var c=0,d=this.length;d>c;++c)a.call(b,this[c],c,this)});

function iterate1() {
