Script Preparation code:
AخA
 
var array1 = Array(400).fill().map(() => Math.round(Math.random() * 40));
var array2 = Array(400).fill().map(() => Math.round(Math.random() * 40));
var array3 = Array(400).fill().map(() => Math.round(Math.random() * 40));
var array4 = Array(400).fill().map(() => Math.round(Math.random() * 40));
var array5 = Array(400).fill().map(() => Math.round(Math.random() * 40));
Tests:

  • Array.concat

     
    var others = array1.concat(array2, array3, array4, array5);

  • Array.prototype.concat.apply

     
    var others = Array.prototype.concat.apply([], [array1, array2, array3, array4, array5]);

  • Array.prototype.concat.apply short form

     
    var others = [].concat.apply([], [array1, array2, array3, array4, array5]);

  • Array.prototype.concat.apply short form without new empty array instance in apply

     
    var others = [].concat.apply(array1, [array2, array3, array4, array5]);

  • Array.prototype.concat.apply short form without new empty array at all

     
    var others = array1.concat.apply(array1, [array2, array3, array4, array5]);
