Benchmark: .dot vs ['bracket'] vs [bracket] notation

Script Preparation code:

  var key = "prop25";

  // setup a tiny object
  var foo = {
   prop25: "value25"
  };
  
  // setup a really big object
  var bigObj = {};
  for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
   bigObj["prop" + i] = "value" + i;
  }

Tests:

dot / small object
var a = foo.prop25;
bracket / small object
var a = foo['prop25'];
dot / big object
var a = bigObj.prop25;
bracket / big object
var a = bigObj['prop25'];
bracket variable / small object
var a = foo[key];
bracket variable / bigobject
var a = bigObj[key];
