Description (last modified by rwaldron) (diff)
A comment on #6809 pointed to a patch that does some optimizations by extended the idea already in practice of storing references to core methods, strings and other "constant" type information that is frequently reused.
A VERY good resource for this practice was published by the winner of the JS1k contest, here:

Additionally, this a link to the patch:

"storing references to core methods, strings and other "constant" type information that is frequently reused."
Don't we do this already? We store reference to many DOM methods, we cache all RegExp and functions at the top of our code. I think we're already OK here.
I've moved the commit above into #6809.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
