Script Preparation code:

function randomString()
{
    var text = "";
    var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";

    for( var i=0; i < 5; i++ )
        text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));

    return text;
}

const map = new Map();
const obj = {};

const map2 = new Map();
const obj2 = {};

for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
   const key = randomString();
   const val = randomString();
   map2.set(key,val);
   obj2[key] = val;
}

Tests:

Map set
for (let i=0; i < 1000; i++) { const key = randomString(); const val = randomString(); map.set(key,val); }
Object set
for (let i=0; i < 1000; i++) { const key = randomString(); const val = randomString(); obj[key] = val; }
Map read
for (let key of map2.keys()) { const val = map2.get(key); }
Object read
for (let key in obj2) { const val = obj2[key]; }
