 # speci.js - specialization benchmark test
 
 Tests two-property objects with {x, y} or {y, x} and access in a tight loop
-When the array contains consistent elements it optimizes well, but the first
-run is much slower on a randomly mixed array.
-
-Subsequent runs come up much faster as the higher-tier compilers in V8 can
-handle a couple of different variants -- but this might not be true of all
-possibilities. 256 randomized variants is linearly slower.
+When the array contains consistent elements it optimizes well, but slows down
+as you add variants, and slows down A LOT if you add other random properties
