Performance issue with 2.7.4

Hi,

I've found an performance issue in the current 2.7 branch and would fix that. I also found out that the code in master is already restructured and may not be affected anymore. Will the current master be merged in 2.7 or is it worth it to fix that 2.7 branch?

(v8 does not optimise that function)

Start at lib/parser.js line 268 in the 2.7 branch and compare the corresponding code in master, since the issue says the parser was restructured there. Reproduce the reported V8 optimization problem and determine whether the 2.7 branch still needs a fix; done means the branch decision and performance impact are verified.
