Description
there has been a regression in filter evaluation performance since https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/pull/5665 – we accepted an initial performance hit (~0.2ms -> ~0.6ms) as part of eliminating `unsafe-eval` requirement, but there seems to have been further degradation since that change.

Research direction
Start by reviewing pull request #5665 and the linked performance image to understand the accepted baseline and the later regression. Locate the current filter-evaluation path and establish a repeatable performance comparison; done means identifying the source of the additional degradation and confirming the evaluation time no longer exceeds the intended baseline.
