Script Preparation code:

var holey = new Array(1000);
var packed = [];
var value = undefined;
var object = { value };
var store;
for(let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) packed.push(undefined);

Tests:

Create holey
holey = new Array(1000)
Create packed (push)
var packed = []; for(let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) packed.push(undefined);
Create packed (assign)
var packed = []; for(let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) packed[i] = undefined;
Read holey
store = holey[100]
Read packed
store = packed[100]
Read object
store = object.value;
Read value
store = value
Math
1+1
Create empty
store = []
Create empty, set length
store = []; store.length = 1000;
Create empty, set last
store = []; store[999] = undefined;
Create holey, fill
store = new Array(1000).fill(undefined)
