Test name	Executions per second
Map	16.7 Ops/sec
For Loop	8.7 Ops/sec
foreach	123.5 Ops/sec
pre-allocated for loop	10.1 Ops/sec
pre-allocated unrolled for loop	15.8 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var a = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 1e6; i++) {
  a[i] = Math.random();
}

Tests:

Map
var b = a.map(n => n * 2);
For Loop
var b = []; for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) { b[i] = a[i] * 2; }
foreach
var b = a.forEach(n => n * 2);
pre-allocated for loop
var b = new Array(a.length); for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) { b[i] = a[i] * 2; }
pre-allocated unrolled for loop
var b = new Array(a.length); for (var i = 0; i < a.length/4; i++) { b[i*4] = a[i*4] * 2; b[i*4+1] = a[i*4+1] * 2; b[i*4+2] = a[i*4+2] * 2; b[i*4+3] = a[i*4+3] * 2; }
