Research direction
Investigate the slokn GLSL shader in the weblas repository. Profile the shader to understand the bottleneck. Look for opportunities to simplify the shader logic, reduce computational complexity, or leverage GPU optimizations. Consider alternatives like precomputing parts of the shader or using lower precision where possible.
