Don’t use the strict equality operator if type inequality should short circuit to false. It is 30-70% faster to check for equality of the result of typeof, and only when true to check value equality. This makes no sense to me, since checking type is supposedly the first step of each equality operator’s algorithm, but this is the result JSBench keeps returning me.
