Who's faster to delete an element from an array, underscore's without method or implementation of Array remove method ?

Preparation code

<script src="//underscorejs.org/underscore-min.js"></script>
<script>
  Benchmark.prototype.setup = function() {
    var arr =  _.range(100000);
    var arr2 = _.range(100000);
    var i = 0;
    var j = 0;
    
    Array.prototype.remove = function(from, to) {
      var rest = this.slice((to || from) + 1 || this.length);
      this.length = from < 0 ? this.length + from : from;
      return this.push.apply(this, rest);
    };
  };
</script>
