Script Preparation code:

class ExampleClass {
    get isExampleGetter() {
        return true;
    }

    isExampleField = true;
}

const items = Array.from({
    length: 10000
}, (_) => new ExampleClass());

Tests:

instanceof
let validCount = 0; for (const i of items) { if (i instanceof ExampleClass) { validCount += 1; } } console.log(validCount);
getter
let validCount = 0; for (const i of items) { if (i.isExampleGetter) { validCount += 1; } } console.log(validCount);
instance property
let validCount = 0; for (const i of items) { if (i.isExampleField) { validCount += 1; } } console.log(validCount);
