With 10M entries in the array, the "slow" way takes 509 ms and the "faster" way takes 362 ms. So we can save roughly 15 nanoseconds per iteration. Or a 30% speedup - assuming nothing happens inside the loop.
(Of course the numbers may vary wildly per browser.)
Somehow I doubt this is the performance problem behind slow web pages.
