Script Preparation code:

let entries = []
let keys = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'];

for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
  entries.push({ key: keys[i % 5], property: 'something'});
}

function getEntries() {
  return entries;
}

Tests:

Using spread operators
getEntries().reduce((groups, entry) => { const group = groups[entry.key] || []; return { ...groups, [entry.key]: [...group, entry] }; }, {});
Mutating
getEntries().reduce(function(groups, entry) { (groups[entry.key] = groups[entry.key] || []).push(entry); return groups; }, {});
