What accounts for it is the fact that methodizing a function requires an additional layer of indirection, an additional function call, and a bunch of argument processing, each time the method is invoked. In other words, every call to element.method(...) has to push element onto the front of the parameter list, and call Element.Methods.method(element, ...). Depending on the browser, this array processing and calling a re-bound function really adds up.
