Run results for: Tuple versus Object 2

Shows a fully defined plain object is fastest. Surprisingly, even beat Array & Tuple. Expando = object with properties added after creation. Literal = all properties defined at creation. Array = additional elements are pushed after creation (~Expando). Tuple = all elements defined at creation, ie: size is constant. Indexed object = an object who's keys are numbers. The expectation is this will be slowest as indexing into objects causes number toString() conversion.
