Script Preparation code:
window.top.tests = {control:[], concat:[], spread:[], pushApply:[]}; window.test = (new Array(10)).fill(null); window.cutoff = 5000;
Tests:
Control (for push)
for (let element of window.test) window.top.tests.control.push(element); if (window.top.tests.control.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.control = []; console.log('reset control'); }
Concat
window.top.tests.concat = window.top.tests.concat.concat(window.test); if (window.top.tests.concat.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.concat = []; console.log('reset concat'); }
Spread
window.top.tests.spread.push(...window.test); if (window.top.tests.spread.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.spread = []; console.log('reset spread'); }
Push.apply
Array.prototype.push.apply(window.top.tests.pushApply, window.test); if (window.top.tests.pushApply.length > window.cutoff) { window.top.tests.pushApply = []; console.log('reset pushApply'); }
