For quickly measuring performance of a javascript block, we can use the console functions like console.time(label) and console.timeEnd(label)

console.time("Array initialize");
var arr = new Array(100),
    len = arr.length,
    i;

for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    arr[i] = new Object();
};
console.timeEnd("Array initialize"); // Outputs: Array initialize: 0.711ms

Demo: jsfiddle - codepen (outputs in browser console)

Note: As Mozilla suggested don’t use this for production sites, use it for development purposes only.
