As demonstrated by http://jsperf.com/base58-array-ops, and even a basic understanding should make it clear, using
unshift
is much slower than usingpush
inArray
operations as eachunshift
is an O(n) operation.This change just reverses the operation order on the array so as
push
becomes possible, with a single O(n) reversal done at the end of the function.On Chrome, this gives a slight (~10-15%) improvement, but on Firefox 30 it gives up to a 50% improvement in ops/sec.
