Speeds up the common pattern of creating prototype-less objects by 40%:
TEST N TIME (ns) REF (ns) SCORE (%)
object_null 20000 124.50
TEST N TIME (ns) REF (ns) SCORE (%)
object_null 50000 74.30
It's so much faster the benchmarker decides to run it 50,000 times
instead of merely 20,000 times. Win.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I tried caching the shape for prototype-less objects on the JSContext (like it's done for ctx->array_shape) and calling JS_NewObjectFromShape(ctx, js_dup_shape(ctx->null_proto_shape), JS_CLASS_OBJECT) but it has no measurable impact on the micro-benchmark.
