Test name	Executions per second
DataView	9869905.0 Ops/sec
Uint8Array by byte	10023258.0 Ops/sec
Uint8Array with set	488181.4 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var size = 0xFFFF;
var buf = new ArrayBuffer(size);
var view = new DataView(buf);
var byte = new Uint8Array(buf);

var data = new Uint8Array(size);

for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
	data[i] = 100*Math.random();
}

Tests:

DataView
for (let i; i < size; i++) { view.setUint8(i, data[i]); }
Uint8Array by byte
for (let i; i < size; i++) { byte[i] = data[i]; }
Uint8Array with set
byte.set(data);
with Float64Array
(new Float64Array(buf, 0, size/8)) .set(new Float64Array(data.buffer, 0, size/8));
