Your SNES would absolutely choke if it tried to output at higher resolution than 512x448 interlaced. Hell, plenty of games had considerable slowdown with less objects on screen than this demo had. Hyperbole doesn't get us anywhere.

Also, without profiling, it's hard to say if the slight choppiness is due to the library itself not being optimized, the browser rendering engine not being optimized, a combination of such, or other factors.
