Performance of Array vs. Object (v92)

Revision 92 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 = [],
        i,
        obj = {};
    for(i = 0; i < 10000; i += 1) {
        var o = {payload:i};
        arr.push(o);
        obj[i] = o;
    }

Test runner

Ready to run.

Array Performance
var sum = 0;
for (var x=arr.length - 1; --x;     ) {
    sum += arr[x].payload
}
ready
Object Performance
var sum = 0;
for (var x in obj) {
    sum += obj[x].payload;
}
ready
Object Performance using known length
var sum = 0;
for (var x=0; x<10000; ++x) {
    sum += obj[x].payload
}

Using Object.keys()
var sum = 0;
var keys = Object.keys(obj);
for (var x=0; x<keys.length; ++x) {
    sum += obj[keys[x]].payload
}
ready
Array Performance known length
var sum = 0;
for (var x=0; x<10000; ++x) {
    sum += arr[x].payload
}
ready
