Since the Visualization API offers more than the Charts API, the comparison page says that the Carts API will render in less than a second, but the Visualization API may take a few seconds. That is understandable.
Now, let us imagine a chart that can render on both, maybe a bar chart with a few hundred, max a few thousand, data points. I can understand that the Visualization API might have a slight overhead to check that the fancy features are not needed, but would it be fair to say that this is imperceptible and both would appear to the user to render in the same time?
