Script Preparation code:

var subarrs = [
 [ "hello", true, 7 ],
 [ "yes", "no", "maybe", false, 27 ],
 [ 16, "I", "wonder", "what", "will", "be", "fastest"]
];

Tests:

Array.prototype.concat
var other = [ 1, 2, 3 ] for (var len = subarrs.length, i = 0; i < len; i++){ other = other.concat(subarrs[i]); } return other;
spread operator
var other = [ 1, 2, 3 ] for (var len = subarrs.length, i = 0; i < len; i++){ other = [ ...other, ...subarrs[i] ] } return other;
Push Spread
var other = [ 1, 2, 3 ] for (var len = subarrs.length, i = 0; i < len; i++){ other.push(...subarrs[i]); } return other;
Push Apply
var other = [ 1, 2, 3 ] for (var len = subarrs.length, i = 0; i < len; i++){ other.push.apply(other, subarrs[i]); } return other;
Push Loop
var other = [ 1, 2, 3 ] for (var len = subarrs.length, i = 0; i < len; i++){ for (var jarr = subarrs[i], jen = jarr.length, j = 0; j < jen; j++){ other.push(jarr[j]); } } return other;
