Are frozen Objects faster ?

[Aymeric Vitte]

Typed Arrays are not frozen on FF, they are not extensible, only new 
typed_array(nothing) is frozen (just bad luck for your example :-) ).

Reading this thread, it seems that I am not using good practices, 
because I am using quite often the object literal indexed with numbers 
(var a={};a[1]=something), and I am using delete to remove the values 
(the object litteral becomes a kind of array with holes), and I really 
expect delete to remove the property, not to assign it to null. I find 
it convenient (despite of the fact that properties enumeration order in 
that case is let to the appreciation of the js engine and can change 
depending on what you are doing), is this not correct/impacting a lot 
performances?

One day maybe there could be an annex in ES specs about good practices 
and performances, or does it exist somewhere?

Regards,
