Script Preparation code:

var size = 5000;
var srcBuf = new ArrayBuffer(size);
var srcBufPtr8 = new Uint8Array(srcBuf);
var srcBufPtr16 = new Uint16Array(srcBuf);
var srcBufPtr32 = new Uint32Array(srcBuf);
var srcBufPtr64 = new BigUint64Array(srcBuf);
var destBuf = new ArrayBuffer(size);
var destBufPtr8 = new Uint8Array(destBuf);
var destBufPtr16 = new Uint16Array(destBuf);
var destBufPtr32 = new Uint32Array(destBuf);
var destBufPtr64 = new BigUint64Array(destBuf);

for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
	srcBufPtr8[i] = 100*Math.random();
}

Tests:

Uint8Array.set
destBufPtr8.set(srcBufPtr8);
Uint16Array.set
destBufPtr16.set(srcBufPtr16);
Uint32Array.set
destBufPtr32.set(srcBufPtr32);
BigUint64Array.set
destBufPtr64.set(srcBufPtr64);
