Curious why the Mario demo is running at ~24FPS, and jumps to 45FPS when the keyboard is active. Is it throttling frames on purpose? Why can't it hit 60FPS for such a simple demo? It doesn't inspire much confidence for a language targeting interactive media.
The code for the Mario demo has a signal every 1/25th of a second due to the (fps 25) function call in it.
I'm not entirely sure why its updating more on keyboard, I just started using Elm but it could be related to the demo combining fps and key events into a single pipe and reacting on it. So by hitting keys you may be emitting extra events it needs to react to.

Otherwise it looks great. :)
