Script Preparation code:

keys = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j"];
values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10];
templateObj = Object.fromEntries(keys.map(k => [k, undefined]));
pairs = keys.map((k, i) => [k, values[i]]);

Tests:

Build up object
const obj = {}; for (const [k, v] of pairs) { obj[k] = v; }
Use fromEntries
Object.fromEntries(pairs)
Copy and fill
const obj = {...templateObj}; for (const [k, v] of pairs) { obj[k] = v; }
Assign and fill
const obj = {}; Object.assign(obj, templateObj); for (const [k, v] of pairs) { obj[k] = v; }

Is it faster to add properties to an object one by one, or create an object with all of them and set values one by one?
