Try using the latest node v22. I noticed a little speed boost. This is a known issue with wyw-in-js that pigment currently uses. There won't be a significant boost until they switch to react compiler.

@paulm17 thx for your answer. Unfortunately switching to node22 doesn't help. So, waiting for wyw-in-js to upgrade.
