when sending svg to files to firefox cppcms is completely sleeping (<0.1% CPU), but firefox does on my desktop (AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+) about 5fps with 800 lines when using 100% CPU when less lines get visible, it increases to 6 fps and more measurements: time (sec) frames frames/second 20 100 5 30 150 5 60 350 5.8 100 620 6.2 TODO investigate: png refresh rate? javascript streaming refresh rate?
