Results in Safari, Firefox and Chrome

On the linked benchmark, a simple for-of loop performs noticeably worse than a forEach loop or a classic for loop.

It even performs worse than the equivalent map transformation which I find surprising because map has to do extra work (destructure the array, create a new one and replace it in the existing array).

Firefox and Chrome results are roughly what I would expect: map is the slowest, classic loop is the fastest, forEach and for-of are in between.
