Script Preparation code:

function generateTestArray() {
  const result = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) {
    result.push({
      a: i,
      b: i / 2,

Tests:

map
const array = generateTestArray(); array.map(x => x.a + x.b)
for
const array = generateTestArray(); const r = []; for (let i = 0, len = array.length; i < len; ++i) { r[i] = array[i].a + array[i].b; }
for (init array)
const array = generateTestArray(); const r = new Array(array.length); for (let i = 0, len = array.length; i < len; ++i) { r[i] = array[i].a + array[i].b; }
