Benchmark: Trimming leading/trailing characters ex

Script Preparation code:

var TestString = '+'.repeat(200) + '='.repeat(20000) + '+'.repeat(200);

String.prototype.trimStartEx = function(chars = ['-', ' '])
{
  let result = this;
  while (true)
  {

    for (let i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
      if (result.indexOf(chars[i]) == 0)
        result = result.substring(1);
    }
    if (resultLen == result.length) {
      break;
    }
  }
  return result;
}

var regexTrim = function(str, ch) {
    if (ch === ']') ch = '\\]';
    else if (ch === '^') ch = '\\^';
    else if (ch === '\\') ch = '\\\\';
    return str.replace(new RegExp('^[' + ch + ']+|[' + ch + ']+$', 'g'), '');
};

    var start = 0, 
        end = str.length;

    while(start < end && str[start] === ch)
        ++start;

    while(end > start && str[end - 1] === ch)
        --end;

    return (start > 0 || end < str.length) ? str.substring(start, end) : str;
}

function booleanTrim(str, ch) {
    return str.split(ch).filter(Boolean).join(ch);
