We were just trying to get a ton of circles (electric vehicle ranges) on a map.

We were going to do something to optimize it in OpenLayers by simplifying the shapes, but when we tried it in Leaflet it just worked a lot faster (fast redraws). We think it's something around how Leaflet dynamically switches to a canvas renderer for big datasets.
