I'll upgrade my OS as the glReadPixels bottleneck is dominating my  
results at the moment. I'll keep this area in mind as I experiment  
more, and it seems readily testable by creating thousands of  
independently animated objects.

If WebGL is expected to do the same level of graphics as the Beach  
demo, then I agree that there isn't a problem. :)
