OK, that's a pretty cool demo :)
My definition of "severe" would involve a slow-down if you tried to render
several of those relatively simple objects :)
On my Althon64 3500+ system running in Konqueror or Mozilla I can get four
windows viewing that page before performance really starts to drag.
I should convince Alex to dig up that old code - I always was curious to see
it. Hmm.
