emscripten ships a "desktop GL" emulation library [0], which can have quite a bit of overhead. If you want something faster, you can use the native WebGL bindings [1]

The "native WebGL bindings" still call into JS.

Desktop GL emulation is just a layer on top OpenGL ES if, for example, you're still using OpenGL's fixed function pipeline (deprecated 13 years ago.)
