Description
https://forum.playcanvas.com/t/bug-with-particles-duration/13472
Test project can be seen here: https://playcanvas.com/project/691967/overview/particles-not-starting-at-same
I'm unable to reproduce the error on my Mac and now wondering if it could be device specific?

Research direction
Start with the linked forum report and the PlayCanvas test project to reproduce the particle-duration mismatch on more than one device. Compare the simulation timing for particle systems with identical settings; done means the cause of the differing speeds is identified and the behavior is made consistent or documented as device-specific.
