Comparing speed of string concatenation vs pushing to an array and then joining at the end.

Preparation code

 
<script>
  Benchmark.prototype.setup = function() {
    var quantum = 'abcd';
    var emptyArray = [];
    var emptyString = '';
  };

  Benchmark.prototype.teardown = function() {
    var finalStringFromArray = emptyArray.join(' '); 
  };
</script>
