Benchmark: Native filter().length vs lodash sumBy vs lodash filter().size(), for large array

Native filter().length vs lodash sumBy vs lodash filter().size(), for large array (version: 3)

As of 3/22/2022, the differences in the performance of the last three test cases have very different performances in Firefox and very similar performances in Chrome. For small arrays, see https://www.measurethat.net/Benchmarks/Show/17858/7/native-filterlength-vs-lodash-sumby-vs-lodash-filtersiz .

Comparing performance of: Filter length vs lodash sumBy vs lodash filter chaining vs manualMethod1 vs manualMethod2 (with lambda function test) vs manualMethod3 (for-each loop, with lambda function test)

Script Preparation code:

const arraySize = 500000;
window.array = _.range(arraySize).map(() => Math.random());

function manualMethod1(array) {
  let x = 0;
  let len = array.length;
  for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    if (array[i] > .5) {
      x++;
    }
  }
  return x;
}

function manualMethod2(array, test) {
  let x = 0;
  let len = array.length;
  for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    if (test(array[i])) {
      x++;
    }
  }
  return x;
}

function manualMethod3(array, test) {
  let x = 0;
  for (let i of array) {
    if (test(i)) {
      x++;
    }
  }
  return x;
}

Tests:

Filter length
const x = _.filter(window.array, i => i > .5).length; return x;
lodash sumBy
const x = _.sumBy(window.array, i => i > .5 ? 1 : 0); return x;
lodash filter chaining
const x = _(window.array).filter(i => i > .5).size(); return x;
manualMethod1
return manualMethod1(window.array);
manualMethod2 (with lambda function test)
return manualMethod2(window.array, i => i > .5);
manualMethod3 (for-each loop, with lambda function test)
return manualMethod3(window.array, i => i > .5);
