Benchmark: Class vs Function + Prototype

Script Preparation code:

class Iterator1 {
    array = Array.from({ length: 500_000 }, () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 500) + 1);
    
    iterate() {
        let sum = 0;
        for (let i = 0; i < this.array.length; ++i) sum += this.array[i];
    }
}

const Iterator2 = function() {};

Iterator2.prototype.array = Array.from({ length: 500_000 }, () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 500) + 1);

Iterator2.prototype.iterate = function() {
    let sum = 0;
    for (let i = 0; i < this.array.length; ++i) sum += this.array[i];
};

Tests:

Class
let iterator = new Iterator1(); for (let i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { iterator.iterate(); }
Function + Prototype
let iterator = new Iterator2(); for (let i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { iterator.iterate(); }
