Test name	Executions per second
✓ Uint8Array by byte	24,251,318 Ops/sec
DataView	24,123,296 Ops/sec
Uint8Array with set	1,974,442 Ops/sec

Script Preparation code:

var size = 0xFF;
var buf = new ArrayBuffer(size);
var view = new DataView(buf);
var byte = new Uint8Array(buf);

var data = [];

for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
	data[i] = 100*Math.random();
}

Tests:

DataView
for (let i; i < size; i++) { view.setUint8(i, data[i]); }
Uint8Array by byte
for (let i; i < size; i++) { byte[i] = data[i]; }
Uint8Array with set
byte.set(data, 0);
