Run `npm run bench` to run the benchmark script using node. Run `PORT=8080 npm run bench-server` to start an HTTP server on port 8080 that will serve the benchmark script to browsers.
`Object.create` is much slower than creating objects using the `new` operator in some versions of V8 (confirmed in Chrome 33 using V8 3.23). This commit changes calls to `Object.create()` to use a semantically-equivalent `createObject` helper function that creates objects using a constructor function and the `new` keyword. See http://jsperf.com/object-create-vs-constructor-vs-object-literal/49.
