Benchmark: Uint8Array to String

Script Preparation code:

uint8Array = Uint8Array.from([...Array(2 ** 16)].map(() => Math.floor(Math.random() * (2 ** 8))));
CHUNK_SZ = 0x8000;

function strapply_arrpush(uint8Array) {
  const c = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8Array.length; i += CHUNK_SZ) {
    c.push(
      String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uint8Array.subarray(i, i + CHUNK_SZ))
    );
  }
  return c.join("");
}

function strapply_arrconcat(uint8Array) {
  let c = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8Array.length; i += CHUNK_SZ) {
    c = c.concat(
      String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uint8Array.subarray(i, i + CHUNK_SZ))
    );
  }
  return c;
}

  let s = "";
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8Array.length; i += CHUNK_SZ) {
    s += (
      String.fromCharCode.apply(null, uint8Array.subarray(i, i + CHUNK_SZ))
    );
  }
  return s;
}

function strspread_arrpush(uint8Array) {
  const c = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < uint8Array.length; i += CHUNK_SZ) {

      String.fromCharCode(...uint8Array.subarray(i, i + CHUNK_SZ))
