Are you saying im.getWidth() is doing some expensive calculation underneath, or that the cost of calling it is expensive in Javascript?

I imagine it loops though the full width of the image every time it is called, which is every time the loop reaches the check.
Since storing it will require width-1 less calls to im.getWidth() it is much more efficient no matter how you slice it.
