This idea picks my interest, though for my application I'd like something
slightly more functional (with capabilities to draw solids, lines and text,
beyond the simple molecular plotting).
A question: is it possible that such a JSMol "lite" version would also
render faster? Or should we expect more or less the same kind of speeds?
