function vs jquery extend vs object prototype (v11)

Revision 11 of this benchmark created on

Description

In FF3.6/Win, the execution part (the function calls) have nearly identical running times, so I included the function declarations themselves in the test cases.

Preparation HTML

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Test runner

Ready to run.

Testing in
TestOps/sec
function foo()
function aFoo() {
 var x;
 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  x = Math.random();
 }
}
aFoo();
ready
var bar = function()
var aBar = function() {
 var x;
 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  x = Math.random();
 }
};
aBar();
ready
$.extend
$.extend({
 aBaz: function() {
  var x;
  for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   x = Math.random();
  }
 }
});
$.aBaz();
ready
Object.prototype
Object.prototype.aQuux = function() {
 var x;
 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  x = Math.random();
 }
};
var obj = {};
obj.aQuux();
ready
