Setup

var data = [], d = 0;
    while (d++ < 100) { data.push(d); }
    function test(rows) {
        var squares = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            squares.push(Math.exp(rows[i], 2));
        }
        return squares;
    }
    
    var code = 'return [\n';
    for (var n = 0; n < data.length; n++) {
        code += 'Math.exp(rows[' + n + '], 2),';
    }
    code = code.substring(0, code.length - 1) + '];\n';
    var evalTest = new Function('rows', code);
