Packed vs. holey arrays (v8)

Revision 8 of this benchmark created by Hyzhak on

Setup

var packed_array = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
    
    var holey_array1 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
    delete holey_array1[0];
    
    var holey_array2 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
    holey_array2[13] = 0;
    
    var holey_array3 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, /* hole */, 10];
    
    var holey_array4 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11];
    holey_array4.splice(0, 1);

    holey_array4.splice(7, 1);
    holey_array4.splice(3, 1);
