Is your device performance starved during this test?
It's not. I am running process lasso tough but doubt that's the issue.
I have Ryzen 5800x3D and tried the code on latest Ms edge (chromium) browser.
Which browser did you try it on? Or did you try to run it in node?
The browser tab was active and focused also.
I have tested the code in both Chrome and MS Edge.
Is anything else running on the same page that you are testing?
You can test this in an empty environment like this: Enter this in your URL, "about:blank" and test the code in the console.
I tried it in about:blank but it does the same. Maybe there is some extension in my browser that slows it down (somehow). Im running tampermonkey but it's not active on any pages I tried this on.
I ran the script in nodejs and everything works perfectly, the sleep time is very close to the original value so it's definitely something inside browser that causes it to lag.
