I wonder what performance gains/losses you would experience if you had the comment outside the function block, before the function declaration.



Exactly, if the comment were outside the function, there would be no issue.


If the function is nested within another function, then the comments to document the inner function are going to exist inside the outer function. And having nested functions is a very common scenario in JS.
