WebGL build "linking build.js (wasm)" takes forever

As mentioned in the linked thread. It takes like half an hour to build a WebGL project in the latest 2022.2.0f1 release. I also wanted to post it here. Because it is only related to WebGL builds.

It is actually blocking my CI due to the runner running out of memory.
