I think it should be more clear that it's using bubble sort to purposely take a longer time than necessary.

I'd expect sorting an array of 50k elements to be instantaneous on a modern machine, even in Javascript.

My first thought was, "WTF? Sorting 50k elements is a big deal?"

It seems that there are significant differences in browsers as well.

  IE v11      | 7899ms
