Script Preparation code:

let s10MB = "0123456789".repeat(1000*1000);
var strings10MB = Array.from(Array(20)).map(o=>s10MB + String.fromCharCode(32+~~(Math.random()*96)));

function hashString(input) {
    var encoder = new TextEncoder();
    return crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-1', encoder.encode(input)).then(function (hashBuffer) {
      var hashArray = Array.from(new Uint8Array(hashBuffer));
      return hashArray.map(byte => byte.toString(16).padStart(2, '0')).join('');
