Performance of Array vs. Object (v10)

Revision 10 of this benchmark created on

Setup

var arr = [],
      plainArr = [],   
      i,
      obj = {};
  for(i = 0; i < 10000; i += 1) {
      var o = {payload:i};
      arr.push(o);    
      obj[i] = o;
      plainArr.push(i);
  }

Using Object.keys()
var sum = 0;
var keys = Object.keys(obj);
for (var x=0; x<keys.length; ++x) {
    sum += obj[keys[x]].payload
}

Array with value only
var sum = 0;
for (var x=0; x<plainArr.length; ++x) {
    sum += plainArr[x];
