Research direction

Reproduce the linestring-drawing case from https://w0dv4.csb.app/ using mapbox-gl-draw 1.3.0 and mapbox-gl-js 1.13.1 in Firefox 95 on macOS, then compare it with Chrome. Profile the lag, especially on larger screens, and consider the issue done when Firefox drawing performance is comparable to Chrome without intermittent severe stalls.
