, one reason I had left it enabled for so
long was to make a point about Chrome's bad GPU+SVG support. Why should it be
necessary to use the CPU to move a semi-circle?

But in any case, I'd rather not distract from the points I'm trying to make in
the blog entry, so the background is now off by default.

Where does it actually run well? It doesn't peg a core on Safari, but
scrolling still feels laggy and unpleasant. I initially assumed you'd
implemented your own inertial scrolling, as with old Google mobile sites.

It runs well on all my PCs, which admittedly are all Windows. It's just an
SVG+SMIL animation. My opinion is that in 2013, it should run entirely on the
GPU. But I acknowledge that's not the case as much as I think it should be.

On my box, it uses ~2.1% CPU and ~16% GPU in Aurora.

Ah, yep; it actually works quite acceptably in Firefox. Very unpleasant in
Chrome and Safari, though.

Because benchmarks are usually just useless. It is like what has better
acceleration on free fall? Race car or truck?

Since we're throwing fruit onto the stand..

I'd love to see Perl Mason on here (the benchmarks)

Make the DB something CPAN like tie::Storable and load it in RAM. Lets see how
that stands up XD

Dragscroll – a tiny JS library which enables scrolling via mouse drag - xpostman

Even before having a mouse with wheel I used to scroll stuff with by dragging:
I just selected text and when the selection reached the border, it started to
scroll. I bet I'm not the only one. Anybody considering disabling selection or
showing social media tools after selecting text should consider such weird
behaviour.

Nowadays I use my Thinkpad without Synaptics or trackpoint drivers and the
middle button works perfectly: Either using it open links in new tabs,
