Benchmark: Deep copy algo vs JSON manipulation - 120k lines of prices

Script Preparation code:

function deepCopy(obj) {
    var copy;

    // Handle the 3 simple types, and null or undefined
    if (null == obj || "object" != typeof obj) return obj;

    // Handle Date

        copy = new Date();
        copy.setTime(obj.getTime());

    // Handle Array
    if (obj instanceof Array) {
        copy = [];

  }

Tests:

JSON copy
a = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data));
Deep copy
a = deepCopy(data);
