Script Preparation code:

var n = 100000; // 100k

Tests:

[...Array(n).keys()].map(k => undefined)
[...Array(n).keys()].map(k => undefined);
Array.apply(null, { length: 4 })
Array.apply(null, { length: n });
Array.from
Array.from({ length: n }, () => undefined);
Array(n).fill(undefined)
Array(n).fill(undefined)
for loop push
const arr = []; for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) { arr.push(undefined); }
