Benchmark: Performance of JavaScript .forEach, .map and .reduce vs for and for..of (fork)

Script Preparation code:

function generateTestArray() {
  const result = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i) {
    result.push(i);
  }
  return result;
}
window.array = generateTestArray();

Tests:

map comparison: for..of
const r = []; for(const x of array) { r.push(x); }
map comparison: .map
array.map(x => x)
reduce comparision: for..of
let r = 0; for (const x of array) { r += x; }
reduce comparision: .reduce
array.reduce((p, x) => p + x, 0);
raw iteration: for..of
for(const x of array) {}
raw iteration: forEach
array.forEach(x => {})
