Script Preparation code:

var a;
var prependArray = function(value, oldArray) {
    var i, len = oldArray.length + 1,
        newArray = new Array(len);
    newArray[0] = value;
    for (i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
        newArray.push(oldArray[i]);
    }
    return newArray;
}

Tests:

Spread Operator
a = new Array(10000).fill().map((_, i) => i) a = [0, ...a];
Unshift
a = new Array(10000).fill().map((_, i) => i) a.unshift(0);
Unshift without mutation
a = new Array(10000).fill().map((_, i) => i) a.slice(0).unshift(0);
Prepend function
a = new Array(10000).fill().map((_, i) => i) prependArray(0, a);
