This works pretty well in IE9 with no noticeable performance problems on a 5 year old machine.

Rather scarily, it also works fine on a Lumia 710 as well!

I don't care what anyone says - IE is not a stinking heap of poop.

Contrary to what many people believe IE9 actually outperforms both FF and Chrome in many aspects. IE10 should be even better.

"Of all browsers and systems I tested, IE9 subjectively produced the best results. It seems to precisely synchronize JavaScript execution with the refresh rate: the benchmark runs at exactly 60 FPS on my machine, even though the timer is scheduled every 16 milliseconds, or 62.5 FPS."

That's because it's been baking out in the sun to the point where the poop is just dried and doesn't really stink anymore.
You can still make houses out of baked poop :)

I'm not sure of the relevance of that point though :(
