Info

In FF3.6/Win, the execution part (the function calls) have nearly identical running times, so I included the function declarations themselves in the test cases.

Preparation code

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Test runner

Warning! For accurate results, please disable Firebug before running the tests. (Why?)

Java applet disabled.

function aFoo() {
 var x;
 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  x = Math.random();
 }
}
aFoo();

var aBar = function() {
 var x;
 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  x = Math.random();
 }
};
aBar();

$.extend({
 aBaz: function() {
  var x;
  for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   x = Math.random();
  }
 }
});
$.aBaz();

Object.prototype.aQuux = function() {
 var x;
 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  x = Math.random();
 }
};
var obj = {};
obj.aQuux();

var x;
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
 x = Math.random();
}
