Script Preparation code:

function getRandomInt(max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max));
}
var a = [...Array(10000)].map(_ => Math.random(1000000));
var ta = (new Float32Array(10000)).map(_ => Math.random(1000000));

Tests:

array sort
a.sort();
typedArray sort
ta.sort();
array i/o
for (let i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { a[i] = a[i] + 1; }
typedArray i/o
for (let i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { ta[i] = ta[i] + 1; } let tb = Array.from(ta);
