Script Preparation code:

  var i,
      value,
      length,
      values = [],
      sum = 0,
      context = values;
  
  
  for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
      values[i] = Math.random();
  }
  
  function add(val) {
      sum += val;
  }

Tests:

for cached length
length = values.length; for (i = 0; i < length; i++) { sum += values[i]; }
forEach
values.forEach( function(val) { sum += val; } );
forEach cached function
values.forEach( add );
