Benchmark: 10k: Test Object.values vs array map for creating object array list v2

Script Preparation code:

var list = Array.from({
    length: 10000
}).map((_, idx) => idx);
var objects = Object.fromEntries(list.map((v, idx) => [idx, {
    index: idx,
    title: 'test'
}]))

Tests:

Object.values()
Object.values(objects)
Array.map()
list.map((idx) => objects[idx])

Let's break down the provided JSON and explain what's being tested.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is testing two approaches to create an array list of objects in JavaScript:

1. Using `Object.values()` to get the values from an object and then creating a new object array using those values.
2. Creating an array from a number of 10,000 elements and then mapping each element to create an object with a specific structure.

**Options Compared**

The two options being compared are:

* **Approach 1: `Object.values()` + Object.fromEntries()**
	+ This approach uses the `Object.values()` method to get the values from the `objects` object, which is created by mapping over an array of numbers. These values are then passed to the `Object.fromEntries()` method to create a new object array.
* **Approach 2: Array.map() + Object.fromEntries()**
	+ This approach uses the `Array.map()` method to create a new array with objects, where each object is created by mapping over an array of numbers. The resulting array is then passed to the `Object.fromEntries()` method to create a new object array.

**Pros and Cons**

* **Approach 1:**
	+ Pros:
		- May be faster because it doesn't require creating an intermediate array.
		- Can take advantage of browser optimizations for getting values from objects.
	+ Cons:
		- Requires an existing object with a specific structure, which may not be common.
		- May have higher overhead due to the use of `Object.values()` and `Object.fromEntries()`.
* **Approach 2:**
	+ Pros:
		- More straightforward and easy to understand.
		- Does not require an existing object with a specific structure.
	+ Cons:
		- Requires creating an intermediate array, which may increase overhead.
		- May be slower due to the need for mapping over the array.

**Library/Function**

The `Object.values()` method is a built-in JavaScript method that returns an array of values from an object. The `Object.fromEntries()` method is also a built-in JavaScript method that creates a new object from an iterable of key-value pairs.

**Special JS Feature/Syntax**

There are no special JavaScript features or syntax used in this benchmark.

**Other Alternatives**

Other alternatives for creating an object array could include:

* Using the spread operator (`{...}`) to create an object from an array of key-value pairs.
* Using a library like Lodash's `fromPairs()` function.
* Using a custom implementation that iterates over the array and creates objects manually.

Keep in mind that these alternatives may have different performance characteristics and trade-offs compared to the two approaches being tested.
