Script Preparation code:

class Rectangle {
    constructor(height, width) {
        this.height = height;
        this.width = width;
    }

    calcArea() {
        return this.height * this.width;
    }
}

var r = new Rectangle(3, 4);

Tests:

Iteration with blank object
var copy = {}; for(const prop in r) copy[prop] = r[prop];
Object.assign with blank object
var copy = {}; Object.assign(copy, r);
Iteration with created object
var copy = Object.create(Object.getPrototypeOf(r)); for(const prop in r) copy[prop] = r[prop];
Object.assign with created object
var copy = Object.create(Object.getPrototypeOf(r)); Object.assign(copy, r);
Iteration with blank object and prototype
var copy = {}; Object.setPrototypeOf(copy, Object.getPrototypeOf(r)); for(const prop in r) copy[prop] = r[prop];
Object.assign with blank object and prototype
var copy = {}; Object.setPrototypeOf(copy, Object.getPrototypeOf(r)); Object.assign(copy, r);
Iteration with blank object and prototype prop
var copy = {}; copy.__proto__ = r.__proto__; for(const prop in r) copy[prop] = r[prop];
Object.assign with blank object and prototype prop
var copy = {}; copy.__proto__ = r.__proto__; Object.assign(copy, r);
