No. forEach() being native doesn't prevent it from generally being slower than a foor loop, because it still has to do a function call on every iteration.

It depends on what you're doing within the loop. With a for loop, you still have to perform an array lookup. For something simple, like summing up all the numbers in an array, forEach is definitely faster. Try JSLitmus'ing it.
