Mmh unfortunately requestAnimationFrame() seems to be very "greedy", it seems its strategy is to consume as much resource as possible (if the render() is not enough fast).

In most browsers, requestAnimationFrame tries for 60fps. That means that if your program blocks on the cpu for more than 1000/60 = 17ms while it's rendering a frame, you'll be at 100% usage
