Benchmark: JS dataset Vs. classList read vs write

Script Preparation code:

var elem1 = document.createElement("div");
var elem2 = document.createElement("div");
var elem3 = document.createElement("div");
var elem4 = document.createElement("div");

Tests:

dataset write multiple attributes
let i = 1000; while (i--){ elem1.dataset["test" + i] = true; }
classList write multiple classes
let i = 1000; while (i--){ elem2.classList.add("test" + i); }
dataset write one attribute
let i = 1000; while (i--){ elem3.dataset["test"] = i; }
classList write one class
let i = 1000; while (i--){ elem4.classList.toggle("test"); }
dataset read
let i = 1000; while (i--){ if(elem2.dataset["test"] === i){} }
classList read
let i = 1000; while (i--){ if(elem4.classList.contains("test")){} }
