the primary way that people are doing this is using the css3 text-shadow property. for example: h1 { text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ccc; } the syntax here is: text-shadow: x-offset y-offset blur-radius shadow-color;

this code solved the problem in under 1 second. I would say for code that is executed one time ever, even including the sqrt(n) part is premature optimization (though I did include it)

It seems like node performs better at the bottom of the curve where most of us are likely to be. Can the performance issues be solved by adding hardware? (or spin up more node processes so that each one stays at the bottom of the curve?
