Description

Testing speed of a standard for loop vs. Array.indexOf.

Setup

var arr = ['aaa1', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhhh', 'aaaa', 'bbbb', 'cccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'ffff', 'gggg', 'hhh2'];
