Webkit's implementation of <canvas> has some issues when it tries to do a lot of drawing with high shadow blur. In every other area of <canvas> rendering webkit is much faster than gecko browsers, but in this case it grinds to a crawl where gecko browsers render at about the same speed. In the referenced web page, the "basic" brush and "paintbrush" use shadows to draw soft lines. I had to make it so the maximum softness on webkit browsers is only 20% of what maximum softness is on gecko browsers because it was otherwise unusable.
