FWIW, the majority of this 150ms is bootup time and includes initializing the DOM & canvas, JITing the js, downloading & parsing the dataset, and actually running the code, which includes data downsampling & gap detection/clipping.

try to get this perf on the web, and then you can re-asses your statement. if it was easy, then every other js charting lib would not be struggling to do it, right?

for native code (or webgl), obviously this is child's play. but webgl has significant trade-offs. e.g: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=771792

finally, you cannot extrapolate from the 26k/150ms number. uPlot can draw 4.8M points in ~2000ms on an i5 with integrated gpu (after bootup amortization).
