I'm seeing <2ms in Edge Chromium and ~10ms in Firefox on a 144 Hz display. I'm curious how that compares to what other people are seeing.

I've been doing some WebGL work recently and I've noticed that while it reaches ~144 fps using requestAnimationFrame() in Firefox, there's a lot of stuttering. It's very smooth at 144 fps in Edge Chromium, while Edge Legacy is below 80 fps. As far as I can tell it's not CPU bound, and it's definitely not GPU bound. It would be nice if I could get it running smoothly in Firefox but I don't know what to investigate.

1-2ms(avg) in FF on Linux on a 60Hz Display. 2.5-3.5 in Brave in a similar setup.
