Comment on "HTML5" versus Flash: Animation Benchmarking

Comments

I noticed something off - in Chrome on the Mac Flash never dropped below 40 fps while canvas and SVG never went over ~25 fps, but perceptually it seemed things are the other way around - canvas and SVG animations seemed smoother than Flash.

Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

I noticed the same thing. I was getting ~70fps in the flash version, but it looked like it was stuttering and dropping frames. Try the link at the bottom that's rate limited to 25fps. It appears very smooth.
