Script Preparation code:

var a = [...Array(10000)].map(_ => Math.random());
var ta = (new Float64Array(10000)).map(_ => Math.random());

Tests:

normal array reverse
a.reverse().reverse().reverse();
Float64Array reverse
ta.reverse().reverse().reverse();
normal array i/o
for (let i=1; i !== 10000; i=i+1|0) { a[i] = a[i] + 1.1 - a[i-1|0]; }
Float64Array i/o
for (let i=1; i !== 10000; i=i+1|0) { ta[i] = ta[i] + 1.1 - ta[i-1|0]; }
Swap between arrays
for (let i=0; i !== 10000; i=i+1|0) { var tmp = ta[i]; ta[i] = a[i]; a[i] = tmp; }
