Reduce the frame interval sample frequency
...
At the higher frequency we were using earlier, the overhead from
updating the readout contributed significantly to the frame interval.

Ray-caster: only draw when the scene is changed
...
This is how I typically schedule draw calls in JavaScript applications.
The baseline CPU activity for the display prototype is now in line with
other pages (though perhaps a bit higher), and the profiler shows little
time being spent in draw calls, even when I'm continually moving a
slider. The interface feels pretty responsive overall, although the
sliders seem to be lagging a bit.

Ray-caster: add a frame time monitor

It's time to start optimizing. Frame time is easy to measure, and we can
use it to gauge responsiveness.

Ray-caster: switch from draw effect to animation loop
...
This wastes a lot of CPU time, as explained on lines 253--258 of
`main.rs`, but it's better than the previous version, which could block
graphics updates system-wide for seconds on end.

This commit adds a utility to parse package-lock.json and write the proper
contents of externals.js to standard output. In addition, if the utility
(src/helpers/pkglock_to_externals.litcoffee) is invoked with a --doc option,
it instead emits a Markdown bulleted list of all of the external dependencies.
