JavaScript performance comparison

Revision 19 of this test case created by Brian Cavalier

Info

Wondering how much of a difference hoisting f out of crockfordCreate will make.

Preparation code

<script>
  var sharedPrototype = {
   one: function() {
    return 1;
   },
   two: function() {
    return 2;
   },
   three: function() {
    return 3;
   }
  };
  
  function F() {}
  var crockfordCreate = function(proto) {
   F.prototype = proto;
   return new F();
  };
  
  var Constructor = function() {};
  Constructor.prototype = sharedPrototype;
</script>
