Test name	Executions per second
switch case	22.5 Ops/sec
jump table	21.0 Ops/sec
jump table (arrow functions)	21.0 Ops/sec
jump table (Map)	19.2 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

// Switch
function thing(j)
{
  switch(j)
  {
    case 0:
      return "rah";
    case 1:
      return "lah";
    case 2:
      return "sah";
    case 3:
      return "blah";
  }
}

// Jumptable
function rah()
{
  return "rah";
}

function lah()
{
  return "lah";
}

function sah()
{
  return "sah";
}

function blah()
{
  return "blah";
}

var jumpTable = [rah, lah, sah, blah];

// Arrow functions
var jumpTableArrow = [() => "rah", () => "lah", () => "sah", () => "blah"]

// Map
var jumpTableMap = new Map(jumpTableArrow.map((fun, i) => [i, fun]))

Tests:

switch case
for(let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { for(let j = 0; thing(j) != "blah"; j++) { } }
jump table
for(let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { for(let j = 0; jumpTable[j]() != "blah"; j++) { } }
jump table (arrow functions)
for(let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { for(let j = 0; jumpTableArrow[j]() != "blah"; j++) { } }
jump table (Map)
for(let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { for(let j = 0; jumpTableMap.get(j)() != "blah"; j++) { } }
