Benchmark: Math.min vs. ternary vs ternaryv2

Script Preparation code:

var a = Math.random() * 1000;
var b = Math.random() * 1000;

function ternary_min_v2(x, y) {
  if (arguments.length === 2) {
     return x < y ? x : y;
  }
  return x;
}

function ternary_min(x, y) {
  return x < y ? x : y;
}

function bitwise_min(x, y) {
  return y ^ ((x ^ y) & -(x < y));
}

Tests:

Math.min
var min = Math.min(a, b);
Ternary
var min = ternary_min(a, b);
Bitwise min
var min = bitwise_min(a, b);
Ternary v2
var min = ternary_min_v2(a, b);
