Benchmark: test children matches vs classList vs querySelectorAll vs getElementsByClassName v.2

HTML Preparation code:

<div id="test"></div>

Script Preparation code:

const count = 1000;
const holder = document.getElementById('test');

for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
   let elem = document.createElement('div');
   elem.classList.add(0|Math.random()*2 ? 'foo' : 'bar');
   holder.appendChild(elem);
}

Tests:

matches (filter)
const result = Array.from(holder.children).filter((node) => node.matches('.foo'));
matches (for)
const result = []; for (const child of holder.children) { if (child.matches('.foo')) result.push(child); }
classList (filter)
const result = Array.from(holder.children).filter((node) => node.classList.contains('foo'));
classList (for)
const result = []; for (const child of holder.children) { if (child.classList.contains('foo')) result.push(child); }
className (filter)
const result = Array.from(holder.children).filter((node) => node.className.includes('foo'));
className (for)
const result = []; for (const child of holder.children) { if (child.className.includes('foo')) result.push(child); }
querySelectorAll
const result = holder.querySelectorAll(':scope > .foo');
getElementsByClassName
const result = holder.getElementsByClassName('foo');
