Object.create vs. new (v8)

Setup

function MyClass (x, y) {
  	this.x = x;
  	this.y = y;
  }
  
  var MyProtoClass = {
  	init: (function (x, y) {
  		this.x = x;
  		this.y = y;
  		return this;
  	}),
  	x: 0,
  	y: 0
  };
  
  function doSomething (obj) {
  	var x = obj.x + obj.y,
  	    y = obj.x * obj.y,
  	    z = obj.x - obj.y;
  
  	return x * y * z; 
  }
  
  var x = 0 | (Math.random() * 10000),
      y = 0 | (Math.random() * 10000);
  var zz = new MyClass(x, y);
  var Creator = function() {
  };
  Creator.prototype = zz;
