Script Preparation code:

var numbers1000 = [...Array(1000)].map((_, i) => Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 10)))
var numbers10000 = [...Array(10000)].map((_, i) => Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 10)))

Tests:

Math.max(slice()) 1000
var result = numbers1000.map((v, i, a) => Math.max(v, ...a.slice(0, i)))
iife Math.max 1000
var result = ((prev) => numbers1000.map((v) => prev = Math.max(v, prev)))(-Infinity)
Math.max(slice()) 10000
var result = numbers10000.map((v, i, a) => Math.max(v, ...a.slice(0, i)))
iife Math.max 10000
var result = ((prev) => numbers10000.map((v) => prev = Math.max(v, prev)))(-Infinity)
