Benchmark: typeof vs instanceof vs constructor equality check

Script Preparation code:

function Ticket(id) {
  this._id = id;
}

var testTicket = new Ticket(1);
var count = 1000;

Tests:

instanceof check
for (var i = 0; i < count; i += 1) { if (testTicket instanceof Ticket) { continue; } }
constructor check
for (var i = 0; i < count; i += 1) { if (testTicket.constructor === Ticket) { continue; } }
