We made some measurements of HTML 5 Canvas drawing performance using http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/canvasmark/ and we noticed that we got a much higher performance out of Linux than Windows:

Questions
- What is the reason for this discrepancy?
- Is there some way to get the same performance under Windows than Linux?
- The Ryzen 7 has an Nvidia 1070Ti GPU while the other only have internal GPUs but it is slower than even the 5 year old i7-4790. Is there some way to enable GPU acceleration for Canvas and why is the Ryzen so slow?
