Benchmark: cost of eventListeners

Script Preparation code:

var audio = document.createElement("audio");

function andAOne(e){ 
  e.count = (e.count|| 0) +1; 
}

function andAOneAndAStop(e){ 
  e.count = (e.count|| 0) +1; 
  e.count === 501 && e.stopPropagationImmediately();
}

Tests:

running async 1000 event listeners
for (var i = 0; i <1000; i++) audio.addEventListener("ratechange",andAOne.bind({})); audio.playbackRate = 2;
running async 501 event listeners
for (var i = 0; i <1000; i++) audio.addEventListener("ratechange",andAOneAndAStop.bind({})); audio.playbackRate = 2;
