Array iteration performance, replace performance.now() with Date.now() or new Date().getTime() in old browsers

arrayIterationPerformance.js

var c = 20e3;

var arr = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".split("");

var i = c + 1, t = performance.now();
while(--i) {
	for(var j = 0, l = arr.length; j < l; ++j)
		var v = arr[j];
}
var dtFor = performance.now() - t;

var i = c + 1, t = performance.now();
while(--i) {
	arr.forEach(function(v, j) {});
}
var dtForEach = performance.now() - t;

var i = c + 1, t = performance.now();
while(--i) {
	for(var [j, v] in Iterator(arr));
}
var dtIterator = performance.now() - t;

var i = c + 1, t = performance.now();
while(--i) {
	for(var [j, v] of arr.entries()); // Firefox 28+
}
var dtExtries = performance.now() - t;

var i = c + 1, t = performance.now();
while(--i) {
	for(var v of arr.entries()); // We don't have index here!
}
var dtForOf = performance.now() - t;

alert([
	"classic for: " + dtFor     .toFixed(2) + " ms",

For me in Firefox 30:

classic for: 440.88 ms
forEach(): 38.88 ms
Iterator(): 399.85 ms
entries(): 792.79 ms
for-of: 532.08 ms

Interesting, Firefox 30 using Console²:

classic for: 16.00 ms
forEach(): 0.00 ms
Iterator(): 203.00 ms
entries(): 187.00 ms
for-of: 203.00 ms

With c = 100e3:

classic for: 16.00 ms
forEach(): 15.00 ms
Iterator(): 905.00 ms
entries(): 936.00 ms
for-of: 998.00 ms

(previously tested in Scratchpad)
