Bug: Much Slower Performance when browser Dev Tools is open

[nickchomey]

Describe the bug

I noticed that db operations can be up to 5x slower when dev tools is open, even if you dont have any breakpoints or anything else set.

Here's a screen recording of a dummy app that I have while I work on building out various functionality. Inserting 5000 records took 5 seconds with dev tools closed, then 17 seconds when it open.

And a screen recording in surrealist.app

Steps to reproduce

Just run any queries in surrealist app - then open dev tools and do the same queries. It'll be much slower.

Expected behaviour

I dont really expect anything - i think this is just inherent to the browser. But @kearfy asked me in Discord to open this issue.

SurrealDB version

n/a
