Script Preparation code:

var list = Array.from({ length: 1_000_000 }, _ => crypto.randomUUID());
var object = Object.create(null);

var x;

list.toReversed().forEach((i, idx) => {
	if (idx % 2) {
		object[i] = [0x1];
	}
});

Tests:

if (key in obj)
list.forEach((key) => { if (key in object) { x = object[key]; } });
if (object[key])
list.forEach((key) => { if (object[key]) { x = object[key]; } });
