    Doesn't this also depend on how your browser can handle javascript?

    This is an awful test of performance, it depends on the browser just as much as the computer. Secondly, I tried it and it said I was getting about 67fps or soemthing like that, very wrong. I know what 60fls looks like and it sure as hell didn't look anything like that.

    Interesting demo. In Opera I had 100 images @ 35 FPS (min) and 70 FPS max.

    Internet Explorer 8 was crawling at 3 FPS with just 36. O_O
