Benchmark: Intl.NumberFormat cache vs new Intl.NumberFormat vs toLocaleString currency

Script Preparation code:

window.formatCache = new Map();
window.formatNumber = function(value, options) {
  var key = JSON.stringify(options);
  var formatter = window.formatCache.get(key);
  if (!formatter) {
    formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat(options.locale, options);
    window.formatCache.set(key, formatter);
  }
  return formatter.format(value);
};

Tests:

cached Intl.NumberFormat instance
window.formatNumber(3_950_219.56, { locale:'pt-BR', style: 'currency', currency: 'BRL' });
new Intl.NumberFormat
new Intl.NumberFormat('pt-BR', { style: 'currency', currency: 'BRL' }).format(3_950_219.56);
Number.prototype.toLocaleString
(3_950_219.56).toLocaleString('pt-BR', { style: 'currency', currency: 'BRL' });
