get() and/or pixelDensity() lag since v1.8.0

[ffd8]

Topic

This is pretty odd issue – but ever since p5.js version 1.8.0 was released, nearly all of my previous sketches which experiment with visual feedback, using get() (especially when combined with pixelDesnity() for upscaling images) – slowed to a halt (even on an M1 Max). I know some significant changes happened to both of these functions in that release, and that there were some sizing issue that got cleared up, however is there a chance an accidental bug still exists in the updates that is causing this?

Example: https://editor.p5js.org/ffd8/sketches/r367LzyK7

• toggle on v1.9.2 and uncomment line 4, prod = 10 – which lags out on my M1 Max, however with v1.7.2 (or any version prior) it works just fine.

Sure, this is using pixelDensity() in a weird way – but these sketches worked fine on a mobile phone with normal pixelDensity(), however if I try updating to later versions, they also lag out... so I believe the issue is with get().
