Prefix or Postfix increment?

Benchmark created by Christophe on

Description

So with recent JS runtimes, does using the prefix increment/decrement operators squeeze the usual performance droplet from loop index maintenance?

Preparation HTML

<script>
  var data = new Array(500 * 1000);
  var index = data.length - 1;
  while (index--) data[index] = index;
</script>
