I use webgl2 and webgpu to render the same scene, why the frame rate of webgpu is lower, what may be the reason?

webgpu is 20fps, webgl2 is at 50fps

See [Render performance - #2 by sebavan](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/render-performance/28644/2) for more context about WebGPU performance compared to WebGL.

However, so much difference between WebGPU and WebGL is not normal, are you able to setup a repro in the Playground (or somewhere else)?
