Probably not. The author of this WebGL app is updating the particles on the CPU which probably explains the low particle count.

Now-a-days it's pretty much standard to use two floating-point off screen textures to store, update, and draw the particles completely on the GPU. This way, you can get 1M+ particles easy.
