Prototype vs Module pattern performance (v26)

Revision 26 of this benchmark created by Andrew Petersen on

Setup

Klass1 = function() { var privateArr = []; }
    Klass1.prototype.foo = function() {
      log('foo');
    }
    Klass1.prototype.bar = function() {
      log('bar');
    }
    
    Klass2 = function() {
      var privateArr = [];
      var foo = function() {
            log('foo');
          },
          bar = function() {
            log('bar');
          };
    
      return {foo: foo, bar: bar}
    }
    
    
    var FooFunction = function() {
      log('foo');
    };
    var BarFunction = function() {
      log('bar');
    };
    
    Klass3 = function() {
      var privateArr = [];
      return {foo: FooFunction, bar: BarFunction}
    }
    
    
    Klass4 = function() {
      var privateArr = [];
      this.foo = FooFunction;
      this.bar = BarFunction;
    }
    
    
    Klass5 = function(){
      var privateArr = [];
      // let's use `bind` to partially apply, to provide
      // access to the private variable. If not this, why else
      // would anyone use the module pattern?
      this.foo = FooFunction.bind(this, privateArr);
      this.bar = BarFunction.bind(this, privateArr);
    }
    
    Klass6 = function() {
      var privateArr = [];
      return {
        foo: FooFunction.bind(this, privateArr),
        bar: BarFunction.bind(this, privateArr)
      }
    }
