This test create a prototypal chain and access to a value that belongs to the last element of the chain (assuming the current one is the first one).
It mesures how long it takes to traverse a long chain of prototypes. Each test is run 1'000 times! So it's usually very fast.
| Depth | Time (ms) | Per lookup (ms) |
|---|---|---|
NB: Opera (9.64) crashes with a big depth (between 216 and 217), a segmentation fault.
