Script Preparation code:

var array = [];
(function(theArray) {
  for (var i = 0, L = 10000; i < L; i += 1) {
    array.push({
      creationIndex: i,
      someStringifiedNumber: (Date.now() + '|' + Math.random())
    });
  }
})(array);
var result;

Tests:

for
var someValuesArray = []; for (var i = 0, L = array.length; i < L; i++) { var someVar = array[i]; var someValue = someVar.creationIndex + someVar.someStringifiedNumber; someValuesArray.push(someValue); } result = someValuesArray;
for (less closure)
