Thank you!

I was lucky to not hit OOM and I've got 5.648s for setting properties outside of the constructor and 3.680s for setting them inside of the constructor, so just as the post predicts.

At the same time, if I'm trying to simplify the test case and set only numeric values and not object ones, I've got nearly the same results: 3.953s and 3.922s for 10x more iterations (prop-benchmark-f.js and prop-benchmark-g.js).

Well, the secret here is that even if you have an empty constructor V8 still initially gives enough slack to you object for 10 in-object properties, and by coincidence you have precisely 10 properties.

Just add one more and observe the difference.
