Benchmark: Clone objects - MeasureThat.net

Script Preparation code:

var obj = {};
var objCount = 100;

for (let i = 0; i < objCount; i++) {
    obj[i] = [1, 2, 3];
}

function deepClone(objIn) {
    let copy;

    if (objIn === null || typeof objIn !== 'object') {
        return obj;
    }

    if (objIn instanceof Array) {
        copy = [];
        for (let i = 0, len = objIn.length; i < len; i++) {

            }
        }
