minified vs. minified

Benchmark created by John-David Dalton on

Description

I noticed subtle changes in the way the file is minified could affect the performance of Safari.

In this case, the "slow" version has typeof checks done like:

"number" == typeof x

and the "fast" version has typeof checks done like:

typeof x == "number"
