HTML5 canvas performance test

Someone who has working OpenGL should try this benchmark in the new Opera 11.50 preview with hardware acceleration. It doesn't work (yet) on my integrated graphics so I can't test.

Note that you are also using setInterval in this demo which is actually causing a 4-15ms delay between frames. Not a problem for Firefox/Chrome but I bet it will be the limiting factor for hardware acceleration.

See my comments here about the setInterval problem:

I changed this benchmark to also use setZeroTimeout and it ran slightly faster FPS on Chrome 11 (but Firefox was already maxed out).

270 FPS in IE9 (yes 270), 48 FPS in Chrome 10, 23 FPS in FF 3.6

I just installed IE9 and am kinda feeling it. Even though it completely stole Chrome's interface, it works.
