Script Preparation code:

window.top.tests = {control:[], concat:[], spread:[], flat: []};
window.test = (new Array(10)).fill(null);
window.arrays = (new Array(10)).fill(window.test);
window.cutoff = 5000;

Tests:

Control (for push)
window.top.tests.control = window.arrays.reduce((acc, arr) => { acc.push(...arr); return acc; }, []); if (window.top.tests.control.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.control = []; console.log('reset control'); }
Concat
window.top.tests.concat = window.arrays.reduce((acc, arr) => acc.concat(arr), []); if (window.top.tests.concat.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.concat = []; console.log('reset concat'); }
Spread
window.top.tests.spread = window.arrays.reduce((acc, arr) => [...acc, ...arr], []); if (window.top.tests.spread.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.spread = []; console.log('reset spread'); }
Flat
window.top.tests.flat = window.arrays.flat(); if (window.top.tests.flat.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.flat = []; console.log('reset flat'); }
