Benchmark: Compare the cost of Array.prototype.length

Script Preparation code:

var array = [];
for(var i = 0; i < 1000; i++){
  array[i] = i;
}

Tests:

Using Array.prototype length all the time
var sum = 0; for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { sum += array[i]; }
Caching the value of Array.prototype.length
var sum = 0; var len = array.length; for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) { sum += array[i]; }
