There is a function that accepts two arguments and an optional third argument. The function should return true if the first argument is greater than the second, false if not, unless the third argument is true, in which case it should return true if the first argument is equal to or greater than the second.
The types of arguments passed to the function may vary and may not always make sense. The function must follow JavaScript's behavior for comparing the arguments.
I have implemented two functions, expecting the second one to be faster, but benchmarks show that the first function is actually performing 30-35% faster.
How can I identify the slow code paths within each function? How can I determine why the second function is slower?
Here is my benchmark:

I made some improvements to the second function to increase its speed slightly, but it still lags behind the first function.
This is the updated version of the second function:
