Script Preparation code:

function makeTestArray(sym) {
    const arr = Array.from({
        length: 10_000
    }).map((_, i) => i)

    arr[Math.floor(Math.random() * arr.length)] = sym
    return arr
}

Tests:

Array.toSpliced
const deleteElement = Symbol() const arr = makeTestArray(deleteElement) const deleteIndex = arr.findIndex((e) => e == deleteElement) const newArr = arr.toSpliced(deleteIndex, 1)
Array.filter
const deleteElement = Symbol() const arr = makeTestArray(deleteElement) const newArr = arr.filter((e) => e != deleteElement)
