console.time shows different time running the same function

Question

I use console.time to show the time of the function. But I found that it shows different running time of the same function.

I have simplified my function as below:

const findIP = (res) => {
    let arr = []
    arr = res.split(',')
}
console.time('1')
findIP('1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0')
console.timeEnd('1')
console.time('2')
findIP('1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0')
console.timeEnd('2')

The time difference between the two is very large.

I have tried to run several times. And it still cost different time.

Answer 1

To quote the answer in the the following link:

If you run shorten multiple times, the V8 engine has a JIT compiler that will optimize that piece of code so it runs faster the next time.

Answer 2

Try changing the argument value, for example

console.time('1')
findIP('1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0')
console.timeEnd('1')
console.time('2')
findIP('1,2,3,4,43,6,7,8,9,4')
console.timeEnd('2')

you will see approx equal time

Reason of that difference is: The browser cache

Simple Definition browser cache is a temporary storage area in memory or on disk that holds the most recently downloaded Web pages and/or calculated result.
