Benchmark: [find char positions] reg.exec vs for-loop vs for-indexOf

HTML Preparation code:

<script>

var _arr = (() => {
  const produce = (n) => new Array(n + 1).fill().map(() => `${Math.random()}`.slice(2)).join(']');
  const a0 = new Array(20).fill().map(() => produce(0));
  const a1 = new Array(20).fill().map(() => produce(1));

  arr.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
  return arr;

function getPositions(path) {
  const positions = [];

Tests:

reg.exec
const arr = _arr; const len = arr.length; let r = 0; for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) { const reg = /\]/g; const positions = []; let match; const basic_path = arr[i]; while ((match = reg.exec(basic_path)) !== null) { positions.push(match.index); } r += positions.length; } window.tmp_r1 = r;
for-loop
const arr = _arr; const len = arr.length; let r = 0; for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) { const basic_path = arr[i]; const positions = getPositions(basic_path); r += positions.length; } window.tmp_r2 = r;
for-indexOf
const arr = _arr; const len = arr.length; let r = 0; for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) { const basic_path = arr[i]; const positions = getPositionsIndexOf(basic_path); r += positions.length; } window.tmp_r3 = r;
