For the record, this call has different semantics: it won't pass
MyObject, but rather the global object, as "this". Not that that would
immediately explain the timing difference you see.

I think you may need to post some more context code.
Especially regarding the construction of "MyObject" including "method".

Is the timing you see measured as an average of many loop iterations
or just one call?
