Performance of Array vs. Object (v16)

Revision 16 of this benchmark created on

Description

After seeing http://jsperf.com/javascript-associative-vs-non-associative-arrays, I thought the test could be improved.

Setup

var arr = [],
        obj_arr = [],
        obj = {},
        obj_obj = {},
        i,
        times = 1000;
    
    for(i = 0; i < times; i+=1) {
        arr.push(i);
        obj[i] = i;
        obj_arr[i] = {v: 1};
        obj_obj[i] = {v: 1};
    }
