Fix to date-format-tofte test

It seems that chrome 34 (also previous versions) is getting really bad results compared with other browsers. Here is a benchmark result : http://screencast.com/t/ljWBY5x6i

I investigated the problem and seems that "date-format-tofte" is using the "eval" method in its code to call some functions. I think this is not a test for evaluating the "eval" method(Anyway is a bad habit and not recommended to use it. ), so it should be approach differently. I attached a slightly different  version of the test, which fixed that issue. Hope it helps.
