Script Preparation code:

  var arr = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    arr[i] = i;
  }

  function someFn(ix) {
    return ix * 5 + 1 / 3 * 8;
  }

Tests:

For loop, basic
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { someFn(arr[i]); }
While loop, basic
var i = 0; while (i < arr.length) { someFn(arr[i]); i++; }
For loop, cached (inside for statement)
for (var i = 0, len = arr.length; i < len; i++) { someFn(arr[i]); }
For loop, cached (outside for statement)
var len = arr.length; for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) { someFn(arr[i]); }
For loop, i-- (caching inside for loop)
for (var i = arr.length; i > 0; i--) { someFn(arr[i]); }
For loop, i-- (caching outside for loop)
var i = arr.length; for (; i > 0; i--) { someFn(arr[i]); }
While loop, cached
var len = arr.length; var i = 0; while(i < len){ someFn(arr[i]); i++; }
While loop, i--
var i = arr.length - 1; while(i > 0){ someFn(arr[i]); i--; }
map
arr.map(i => someFn(i))
forEach
arr.forEach(i => someFn(i))
