Revision 236 of this benchmark created by Andrew Marais on

Description

Is it faster to use the native forEach or just loop with for?

Preparation HTML

<script>
  var i, values = [],
      sum = 0;
  for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
   values[i] = i;
  }
  
  function add(val) {
   sum += val;
   return true;
  }

for loop, simple

forEach more local

Reverse while Loop

values.each(add);

For in
for (value in values) {
