Script Preparation code:

const data = new Array(1000000)
	.fill(1)
	.map((item) => "somekeeeey-" + String(Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000)))

const map1 = new Map();
const map2 = {}

Tests:

Filling map
data.forEach((item) => { map1.set(item, { id: item, rand: Math.random() }); });
Filling object
data.forEach((item) => { map2[item] = { id: item, rand: Math.random() }; });
Accessing map
const aggr = [] data.forEach((item) => { aggr.push(map1.get(item)) });
Accessing object
const aggr = [] data.forEach((item) => { aggr.push(map2[item]); });
