Benchmark: large string comparison1

Script Preparation code:

let s1MB = "0123456789".repeat(1000*100);
var strings1MB = Array.from(Array(20)).map(o=>s1MB + String.fromCharCode(32+~~(Math.random()*96)))

let s2MB = "0123456789".repeat(1000*200);
var strings2MB = Array.from(Array(20)).map(o=>s2MB + String.fromCharCode(32+~~(Math.random()*96)))

let s10MB = "0123456789".repeat(1000*1000);
var strings10MB = Array.from(Array(20)).map(o=>s10MB + String.fromCharCode(32+~~(Math.random()*96)))
function compare(a, b) {
    const lenA = a.length;
    const lenB = b.length;
    const minLen = lenA < lenB ? lenA : lenB;
    var i = 0;
    for (; i < minLen; ++i) {
        const ca = a.charCodeAt(i);
        const cb = b.charCodeAt(i);
        if (ca > cb)
            return 1;
        else if (ca < cb)
            return -1;
    }
    if (lenA === lenB)
        return 0;
    return lenA > lenB ? 1 : -1;
};

Tests:

1MB string comparison
const s1 = strings1MB[~~(strings1MB.length*Math.random())]; const s2 = strings1MB[~~(strings1MB.length*Math.random())]; const b = s1 === s2;
2MB string comparison
const s1 = strings2MB[~~(strings2MB.length*Math.random())]; const s2 = strings2MB[~~(strings2MB.length*Math.random())]; const b = s1 === s2;
10MB string comparison
const s1 = strings10MB[~~(strings10MB.length*Math.random())]; const s2 = strings10MB[~~(strings10MB.length*Math.random())]; const b = s1 === s2;
1MB string comparison+
const s1 = strings1MB[~~(strings1MB.length*Math.random())]; const s2 = strings1MB[~~(strings1MB.length*Math.random())]; const b = compare(s1,s2);
