Checked this on Chromium 22 (Ubuntu AMD64) in the web developer console

(function bench() {
   function test() {}
   var runs = 10000000,  // adjust as needed
   t0 = +new Date();
   while (runs--) test();
   console.log((+new Date() - t0) + "ms");
})();

Execution time stays constant with 90ms to 95ms.

Duplicating your test case I get

13ms
48ms
53ms
50ms
48ms
48ms
51ms
49ms
52ms
54ms
53ms
93ms
84ms
90ms
84ms
88ms
..
95ms (or less)
