Fast JavaScript Max/Min on an Array Taking Arbitrary Number of Arguments

What's the fastest way to find the largest, or smallest, number in an array?

Array.max = function( array ){
return Math.max.apply( Math, array );
};
Array.min = function( array ){
return Math.min.apply( Math, array );
};

By using JavaScript's .apply() method on a built-in function you can pass in an array of unlimited arguments.
