Lea Verou on Nostr: When doing case-insensitive matching of a needle (string) against a haystack ...
When doing case-insensitive matching of a needle (string) against a haystack (potentially large array of strings), which is faster:
1. toLowerCase() (once on needle, then per each item in the haystack)
2. Create regex with i flag, use regex.test()
I would guess 1, but haven't checked. Does anyone know of any benchmark?
