Script Preparation code:

var data = new Array(1000000);

for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
  data[i] = i % 2 === 0 ? i : i + 0.5;
}
var f32 = new Float32Array(data);

Tests:

subarray direct
var copy = f32.subarray(0, 500000);
slice direct
var copy = f32.slice(0, 500000);
subarray copy
var copy = new Float32Array(f32.subarray(0, 500000));
slice copy
var copy = new Float32Array(f32.slice(0, 500000));
subarray set
var copy = new Float32Array(1000000).set(f32.subarray(0, 500000));
slice set
var copy = new Float32Array(1000000).set(f32.slice(0, 500000));
