Run results for: Native filter().length vs lodash sumBy vs lodash filter().size(), for large array

As of 3/22/2022, the differences in the performance of the last three test cases have very different performances in Firefox and very similar performances in Chrome. For small arrays, see https://www.measurethat.net/Benchmarks/Show/17858/7/native-filterlength-vs-lodash-sumby-vs-lodash-filtersiz .

Tests:

  • Filter length

     
    const x = _.filter(window.array, i => i > .5).length;
    return x;

  • lodash sumBy

     
    const x = _.sumBy(window.array, i => i > .5 ? 1 : 0);
    return x;

  • lodash filter chaining

     
    const x = _(window.array).filter(i => i > .5).size();
    return x;

  • manualMethod1

     
    return manualMethod1(window.array);

  • manualMethod2 (with lambda function test)

     
    return manualMethod2(window.array, i => i > .5);

  • manualMethod3 (for-each loop, with lambda function test)

     
    return manualMethod3(window.array, i => i > .5);
