Benchmark: Creation time smaller function pointing to prototype methods VS one larger all in one funtion

Script Preparation code:

class CreationTester {
	counterA = 0;
	counterB = 0;
	callback;
	constructor(options = {}) {
		this.onTodo1 = options.onTodo1;
		this.onTodo2 = options.onTodo2;
	};
	stuffTodo1(thing) {
		this.counterA++;
		thing.aap = "noob";
		this.onTodo1(thing, () => this.stuffTodo2(thing));
	};
	stuffTodo2(thing) {
		this.counterB++;
		thing.y = "mongol";
		this.onTodo2(thing, this.callback);
	};
	createSmallFunctionThatPointsToMultipleProtoMethods(callback) {
		this.callback = callback;
		return thing => this.stuffTodo1(thing);
	};
	createOneLargerAllInOneFunction(callback) {
		return thing => {
			this.counterA++;
			thing.aap = "noob";
			this.onTodo1(thing, () => {
				this.counterB++;
				thing.y = "mongol";
				this.onTodo2(thing, callback);
			});
		};
	};
};
var creationTester = new CreationTester({
	onTodo1(thing, callback) {
		thing.noob = "aap";
		callback();
	},
	onTodo2(thing, callback) {
		thing.Y = "MONGOL";
		callback(thing);
	},
});

Tests:

Create a small function that points to prototype methods
let pointedCallback = creationTester.createSmallFunctionThatPointsToMultipleProtoMethods(thing => { console.log(thing); });
Create one larger all in one function
let pointedCallback = creationTester.createOneLargerAllInOneFunction(thing => { console.log(thing); });

**Benchmark Overview**

The provided JSON represents a JavaScript microbenchmark test case on the website MeasureThat.net. The benchmark compares two approaches: creating a smaller function that points to prototype methods and creating a larger all-in-one function.

**Options Compared**

There are two options being compared:

1. **Smaller Function with Prototype Method Pointing**: This approach creates a smaller function, `createSmallFunctionThatPointsToMultipleProtoMethods`, which takes a callback as an argument and returns another function that points to the prototype methods of the `CreationTester` class.
2. **Larger All-in-One Function**: This approach creates a larger all-in-one function, `createOneLargerAllInOneFunction`, which also takes a callback as an argument and returns a single function that combines multiple prototype method calls.

**Pros and Cons**

**Smaller Function with Prototype Method Pointing**

Pros:

* Potential performance benefits due to the smaller code size and fewer overheads.
* Easier maintenance and debugging, as each method is more focused.

Cons:

* May lead to slower execution times if the callback function is complex or computationally expensive.
* Requires careful consideration of prototype method invocation to avoid unnecessary overhead.

**Larger All-in-One Function**

Pros:

* Potentially faster execution times due to reduced function call overhead and caching effects.
* Simplifies code organization, as all methods are contained within a single function.

Cons:

* Increased complexity, which can lead to debugging difficulties and maintenance challenges.
* Potential performance overhead from the larger code size and multiple method calls.

**Library Usage**

The `CreationTester` class uses several libraries and features:

* **Prototype methods**: The class utilizes prototype methods (`onTodo1`, `onTodo2`) for dynamic method invocation. This allows the smaller function to point to these methods without defining them inline.
* **Constructor with options**: The constructor accepts an object with two properties, `onTodo1` and `onTodo2`, which are used to set up the prototype method invocation.

**Special JS Features**

The benchmark uses several special JavaScript features:

* **Arrow functions**: The `createSmallFunctionThatPointsToMultipleProtoMethods` function returns another function using an arrow function syntax.
* **Async callback**: The `stuffTodo1` and `stuffTodo2` methods use an async callback to handle the asynchronous execution of their respective tasks.

**Alternative Approaches**

Other alternatives to consider when creating similar benchmarks:

* Using a more concise approach, such as utilizing `bind()` or `call()` to invoke prototype methods directly.
* Employing lazy loading or caching techniques to reduce overhead from repeated function invocations.
* Exploring the use of modern JavaScript features like async/await, generators, or WebAssembly for potential performance improvements.
