Script Preparation code:

var a = Array.from({length: 1000}).map((_, i)=>`${i}`);
var b = Array.from({length: 2000}).map((_, i)=>`${i}`);
var aSmall = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'];
var bSmall = ['e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i'];

Tests:

spread big
const c = [...a, ...b];

spread big smal
const c = [...a, ...bSmall];
spread small big
const c = [...aSmall, ...b];
concat big small
const c = a.concat(bSmall);
concat small big
const c = aSmall.concat(b);
