Performance of Array vs. Object (v202)

Revision 202 of this benchmark created by Donato on

Setup

var arr = [],
      i,
      obj = {},
      array = new Uint8Array(10000);
  for(i = 0; i < 10000; i += 1) {
      arr.push(i);
      obj[i] = i;
      array[i] = i;
  }

Array Performance

Object Performance

Object Performance using known length

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

Using Uint8Array
var sum = 0;
for (var x=0; x<10000; ++x) {
    sum += array[x]
}
