Comment (by aduth):

 Unless I've missed something in the related resources, this is also
 specifically talking about Chrome / V8. We should be mindful as well as to
 the potential impact on other supported browsers.

 Generally, I feel that these sorts of engine-specific optimizations are
 not really reliable over the long-term. Then again, since this is mostly
 an internal implementation detail, it seems like it shouldn't be too much
 of a problem to change again, if ever the advantage swung back in the
 other direction in the future.
