Benchmark: Intl.Collator.compare vs localeCompare with numbers

Script Preparation code:

const minCodePoint = 'a'.charCodeAt(0);
const maxCodePoint = 'z'.charCodeAt(0);
const randomTextNumber = () => 'tst-' + Math.floor(Math.random() * (1000 - 1) + 1);

var words = Array.from({length: 50000}, randomTextNumber);

Tests:

Intl.Collator
const collator = new Intl.Collator(undefined, {numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base'}); words.sort(collator.compare);
localeCompare
words.sort((a, b) => a.localeCompare(b, undefined, {numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base'}))
