Test name	Executions per second
array.filter	5.1 Ops/sec
array.indexOf	7.7 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var inputSet = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
  inputSet.push({ value: Math.floor(Math.random() * 100) });
}

Tests:

array.filter
var tempResult = []; inputSet.forEach(function(input) { var stripped = tempResult.filter(function(res) { return res.value !== input.value }); if (stripped.length < tempResult.length) { tempResult = stripped; } else { tempResult = tempResult.concat([input]); } });
array.indexOf
var tempResult = []; inputSet.forEach(function(input) { var index = tempResult.findIndex(function(res) { return res.value === input.value }); if (index !== -1) { tempResult = tempResult.slice(0, index).concat(tempResult.slice(index + 1)); } else { tempResult = tempResult.concat([input]); } });
