forEach vs. jQuery .each vs. for vs for..in (v58)

Revision 58 of this benchmark created on

Description

This test compares speeds from ECMAscript5 (262) Array.prototype.forEach vs jQuery .each method and standard for..in, for methods.

Modified preparation code to make the last test case working. (But be carefull this test case will not work if your array contains any "false" values... So, discouraged)

Preparation HTML

<script>
  var arr = [],
      loop = 5000;
  
  while (loop--) {
   arr[loop - 1] = loop;
  }
  
  var fn = function(x) {
   x = Math.random();
  };
  
  var jQfn = function(i, v) {
   v = Math.random();
  };
</script>
