Script Preparation code:

var size = 0xFFFF;

var source = new Uint8Array(size);
var target = new Uint8Array(size);

for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
	source[i] = 100*Math.random();
}

Tests:

Uint8Array by byte
for (let i; i < size; i++) { target[i] = source[i]; }
Uint8Array with set
target.set(source);
