not sure about the reactions to that one. It's simply that a webpage with some <img> tiles on it is basically no RAM at all, whereas locally rendering data vectors seems to take hundreds of megabytes and be heavy on the CPU as well so you sit there waiting for it to render while the fans spin up (and then it also shows a lot less detail, but that must just be the current beta implementations)
