Benchmark: Lodash isEqual vs custom deepEquals for objects v0.0.2

HTML Preparation code:

<script>
var deepEquals = (a, b) => 
    // if a and b are null/undefined/exactly the same
    a === b ||
    // if they are not strictly equal, they both need to be Objects
    (a instanceof Object &&
      b instanceof Object &&
      // they must have the exact same prototype chain, the closest we can do is test their constructor
      a.constructor === b.constructor &&
      // using Object.keys() as other properties were tested using a.constructor === b.constructor
      Object.keys(a).every(
        (key) =>
          // check key is defined (vs set as undefined) on both objects
          Object.hasOwn(b, key) &&
          // if defined on both, check respective values
          deepEquals(a[key], b[key]),

Script Preparation code:

// 1 level deep
window.foo1 = { a: new Date("1 jan"), b: 2, c: { a: "1", b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: true } } };
window.bar1 = { a: window.foo1.a, b: 3, c: { a: "1", b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: true } } };

// 2 levels deep
window.foo2 = { a: new Date("2 jan"), b: 2, c: { a: "1", b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: true } } };
window.bar2 = { a: window.foo2.a, b: 2, c: { a: "1", b: 3, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: true } } };

// 3 levels deep
window.foo3 = { a: new Date("3 jan"), b: 2, c: { a: "1", b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: true } } };
window.bar3 = { a: window.foo3.a, b: 2, c: { a: "1", b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 4, c: true } } };

// 3 levels deep same
window.foo3s = { a: new Date("4 jan"), b: 2, c: { a: "1", b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: true } } };
window.bar3s = { a: window.foo3s.a,    b: 2, c: { a: "1", b: 2, c: { a: 1, b: 2, c: true } } };

LLMs can make mistakes. Check important info.

To provide an accurate analysis, I'll need to focus on the benchmark results provided.

The test is called `deepEquals` or `_.isEqual`, and it's executed multiple times with different inputs (e.g., `window.foo3s` vs. `window.bar3s`) and variations (e.g., same inputs repeated, slightly modified). The goal is to determine which version of the function is faster.

Here are some observations based on the provided benchmark results:

1. **Overall performance**: Chrome 102 seems to be consistently among the fastest browsers across all test runs.
2. **Variation in execution times**: For each test run, there's a noticeable variation in execution times. This could be due to factors like network latency, browser rendering time, or the complexity of the function being tested.
3. **Same inputs repeatable results**: When `window.foo3s` is repeated as an input (e.g., `deepEquals Lx1`, `deepEquals Lx2`, and `_.isEqual Lx1`), the execution times are relatively consistent across browser versions.

To provide a more specific answer, I would need to know:

* What's the expected performance characteristic of the test function? Is it looking for a fixed best performer or an average value?
* Are there any specific browsers or platforms that stand out as particularly fast or slow?

Without additional context or clarification, I'll provide a general conclusion based on the available data:

Chrome 102 seems to be consistently among the fastest browsers across all test runs. However, there's still some variation in execution times between different browser versions and input variations.

If you need more precise analysis or have specific questions about the benchmark results, feel free to ask!
