[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: This seems like a regression.

The new find in page is extremely slow and unresponsive on the HTML Standard.

I’ve noticed the first pass of searching a document to be slower than when you revisit the same results a second time from the top (wrap around).

Unrelated to this bug I’ve noticed monospace fonts to give a weird offset in the currently highlighted occurrence (yellow), especially when searching code on Github.

I know! I've looked at this together with :jfkthame, but couldn't find the reason why... I'm adding a DEBUG mode to the highlighter to make this easier to figure out with help from the devtools.
