Tests:

Array constructor - 100000 items
var arr = new Array(n); for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) { arr[i] = new Person(i + '', i); }
Array literal - 100000 items
var arr = []; for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) { arr.push(new Person(i + '', i)); }
Array literal (assign by index) - 100000 items
var arr = []; for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) { arr[i] = new Person(i + '', i); }
Array literal (explicit length) - 100000 items
var arr = []; arr.length = n; for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) { arr[i] = new Person(i + '', i); }
