I'll break down the benchmark and explain what's being tested, compared, and their pros and cons.

**Benchmark Overview**

The benchmark measures the performance of different filtering methods on an array of 100 numbers. The goal is to find (or filter) elements that satisfy a given condition (in this case, `el - 50 > 31`).

**Tested Methods**

1. **$.grep(array, getValue)**: Uses jQuery's `grep()` method.
2. **array.find(getValue)**: Uses JavaScript's built-in `find()` method.
3. **array.where(getValue)**: Implements a custom `where()` method on the array prototype.
4. **angularFilter(array, getValue)**: Uses AngularJS's `$filter` service to filter the array.
5. **grepAlone(array, getValue)**: A custom implementation of filtering using a single function (similar to jQuery's `grep()`).
6. **_lodash.filter(array, getValue)** and **_.filter(array, getValue)**: Uses Lodash's `filter()` method.
7. **array.filter(getValue)**: Uses JavaScript's built-in `filter()` method.
8. **underscore.filter**: Uses UnderSCORE.js's `filter()` function.

**Comparison**

The benchmark measures the performance of each method by executing them 100 million times and reporting the number of executions per second.

**Pros and Cons**

1. **$.grep(array, getValue)**:
	* Pros: Simple, widely supported, and easy to use.
	* Cons: jQuery is a large library that may not be necessary for this specific use case.
2. **array.find(getValue)**:
	* Pros: Native JavaScript method, efficient, and simple.
	* Cons: May be slower than other methods due to its nature (iterating over the array).
3. **array.where(getValue)**:
	* Pros: Custom implementation allows for fine-grained control and potential optimization.
	* Cons: Adds complexity to the codebase and may not be widely supported or understood.
4. **angularFilter(array, getValue)**:
	* Pros: AngularJS provides a robust filtering mechanism that can be reused throughout the application.
	* Cons: May introduce unnecessary overhead due to the Angular framework's functionality.
5. **grepAlone(array, getValue)**:
	* Pros: Simple and efficient implementation similar to jQuery's `grep()`.
	* Cons: May not be as widely supported or well-understood as other methods.
6. **_lodash.filter(array, getValue)** and **_.filter(array, getValue)**:
	* Pros: Lodash provides a robust filtering mechanism that can be reused throughout the application.
	* Cons: Requires the Lodash library, which may add unnecessary overhead.
7. **array.filter(getValue)**:
	* Pros: Native JavaScript method, efficient, and simple.
	* Cons: May not be as widely supported or well-understood as other methods.
8. **underscore.filter**:
	* Pros: UnderSCORE.js provides a robust filtering mechanism that can be reused throughout the application.
	* Cons: Requires the UnderSCORE.js library, which may add unnecessary overhead.

The benchmark results will provide insight into the performance characteristics of each method, allowing users to choose the best approach for their specific use case.
