>This demo is symptomatic of a general and irritating trend with modern Chrome and Firefox: the development teams seem to be very interested in doing enough to tick a box claiming they support a certain feature, but the quality of implementation can still be poor, sometimes to the point of being unusable as in this case. SVG is a common culprit, but for example typography in Chrome is another repeat offender.
That's development in general. Is it not? It's hard to find houses that don't have a focus on stuff like that. As averse as I am to it, I also have to admit it is a good thing. It's just embarrassing when the covers come off and the dirty hacks are revealed.

There is a lot of stuff in WPF and presumably SilverLight that is analogous to SVG, so it isn't as if Microsoft doesn't know how to hardware accelerate geometry drawing.
