At the present moment, the JavaScript engine running inside of IE 10 is the fastest, based of a jsLint based benchmark.

However, Ratanaworabhan et al. proved in JSMeter: Measuring JavaScript Behavior in the Wild that benchmarks in general are pretty worthless when it comes to JavaScript.

Further, the specifics of the rest of the browser environment can have significant impact on the benchmarks. The running of add-ons in Firefox or Chrome can make all kinds of mess, and a browser that has been running for a long time will be slower than one that's been recently restarted.

What attribute is used to hold the javascript version?

The version attribute in JavaScript is typically represented by the navigator object, specifically navigator.userAgent, which provides a string containing information about the browser and its version. However, there is no specific attribute solely dedicated to holding the JavaScript version itself, as JavaScript is generally considered to be versionless. Instead, features and capabilities are often referenced by ECMAScript versions (like ES5, ES6, etc.), with the latest features being determined by the JavaScript engine's compliance with those specifications.
