var pojo2 = {};

var map1 = new Map();
var map2 = new Map();

for (var i = 0; i < 300; i++) {

POJO - for...of Object.entries
var diff = []; for (var [key, val] of Object.entries(pojo1)) { if (val !== pojo2[key]) { diff.push(key); } }
POJO - reduce Object.entries
var diff = Object.entries(pojo1).reduce((acc, [key, val]) => { if (val !== pojo2[key]) { acc.push(key); } return acc; }, []);
Map - forEach
var diff = []; map1.forEach((val, key) => { if (val !== map2.get(key)) { diff.push(key); } });
Map - for...of entries
var diff = []; for (var [key, val] of map1.entries()) { if (val !== map2.get(key)) { diff.push(key); } }
