Run results for: removeChild vs display="none" performance benchmark

This benchmark is a fork of a different one. This time, using a different way to iterate childs for display:none. I was worried the original benchmark was not being fair.

Run details:

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/16.6 Safari/605.1.15

Browser: Safari 16

Operating system: Mac OS X 10.15.7

Device Platform: Desktop

Date tested: one year ago

Test name	Executions per second
removeChild	6364837.0 Ops/sec
testing display none with different iterator	6414428.5 Ops/sec

HTML Preparation code:

<div id="container"></div>

Script Preparation code:

var container = document.getElementById('container');
ul = document.createElement('ul');
var html = [];
    for ( var i=0; i<2000; i += 1 ) {
  	html.push(`<li>${i}</li>`);
}
 ul.innerHTML = html.join('');
 container.appendChild(ul);

Tests:

removeChild
var element = ul.firstElementChild; while (element) { ul.removeChild(element); element = ul.firstElementChild; }
testing display none with different iterator
var element = ul.firstElementChild; while (element) { element.style.display="none" element = element.nextElementSibling; }
