Benchmark: Rest vs. Arguments to Array

Script Preparation code:

function rest(...args) {
  return function(fn) {
    return args.map(fn);
  };
}

function argsToArray() {
  const len = arguments.length;
  const args = Array(len);
  for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    args[i] = arguments[i];
  }
  return function(fn) {
    return args.map(fn);
  };
}

Tests:

rest with 10 args
rest(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)(n => 2 * n);
rest with 1 arg
rest(1)(n => 2 * n);
argsToArray with 10 args
argsToArray(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)(n => 2 * n);
argsToArray with 1 arg
argsToArray(1)(n => 2 * n);
