I wonder if Mollweide or Atlantis projections wouldn't be more performant?

It was less about performance and more about the visual storytelling. The globe itself isnt actually a 3d model, all of this are rendered in three.js as two dimensional wraps, but the performance is hit with the amount of data.

What's the data doing that's so sluggish? Is it being correlated/transformed, or is it just so many points of light are blocking each frame?
