Comment #5 on issue 1704 by [email protected]: V8 significantly slower than Firefox and Safari in evalutating Math functions.
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=1704
One note - this speed difference is observable only in the context of a browser. In Node.js, there appears to be no significant speed difference between the two functions since there is no global 'window'.
