Script Preparation code:

// starting with a plain array buffer, what is fastest?
var buffer = new ArrayBuffer(1024 * 1024);
var originalIntView = new Uint8Array(buffer);
for (var i = 0; i < originalIntView.length; i++) {
  originalIntView[i] = Math.round(Math.random() * 256);
}

Tests:

Uint8 copyWithin
originalIntView.copyWithin(0, 512*1024, 1024*1024)
Int8 Iteration
for (var i = 0; i < 1024 * 512; i++) { originalIntView[i] = originalIntView[i + 1024 * 512]; }
Uint32 copy within
var int32View = new Uint32Array(originalIntView.buffer, originalIntView.byteOffset, originalIntView.byteLength / 4); for (var i = 0; i < 1024 * 512 / 4; i++) { int32View[i] = int32View[i + 1024 * 512 / 4]; }
.set
var other = new Uint8Array(originalIntView.buffer, originalIntView.byteOffset + originalIntView.byteLength / 2, originalIntView.byteLength / 2) originalIntView.set(other, 0)
