Benchmark: console.time overhead confirmed

Script Preparation code:

function factorial (num) {
    if (num < 0) {
        throw new Error("Number cannot be negative.");
    }

    if (num % 1 !== 0) {
        throw new Error("Number must be an integer.");
    }

    // The base case
    if (num === 0 || num === 1) {
        return 1;
    }

    // The general case
    return num * factorial(num - 1);
}

Tests:

without console.time
factorial(20);
with console.time
console.time('factorial'); factorial(20); console.timeEnd('factorial');
