var arrLookup = [];
var items = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  	items[i] = [];
	for (var j = 0; j < 100; j++) {

Tests:

Map lookup
var results = [], i, j; for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { for (j = 0; j < 100; j++) { if (map.has(items[i][j] +"")) results.push(map.get(items[i][j]+"")); } } if (results.length === 0) throw Error();
Array lookup
var results = [], i, j; for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) { for (j = 0; j < 100; j++) { if (arrLookup[i] && typeof arrLookup[i][j] !== "undefined") results.push(arrLookup[i][j]); } } if (results.length === 0) throw Error();
