Preparation code 


      
      <script>

        Benchmark.prototype.setup = function() {

          
  var f = function() {

  var that = {

  };
  
  var bound = f.bind(that);
  
  var wrappedCall = function() {
      f.call(that);

  var wrappedApply = function() {
  f.apply(that);
  };
  var slice = Array.prototype.slice;
  Function.prototype.bind2 = function(_this) {
    var _self = this;
    var args = slice.call(arguments, 1);
    if (args.length === 0) {
      return function() {
        if (arguments.length === 0) return _self.call(_this);
        else if (arguments.length > 0) return _self.apply(_this, args);
      }
    }
  
    return function() {

      var a2 = args.contact(slice.call(arguments));
