On WebKit I've experimented with an API to copy a CSSMatrix to an Float32Array, which can be directly uploaded to the GPU. It's surprising how much more efficient this was than copying the 16 floating point values out of the CSSMatrix using JS. But I've hesitated proposing such an API while WebGL and Typed Arrays were still in draft. Now that they're not, maybe it's time to discuss it. I've also experimented with API in CSSMatrix to do in-place operations, rather than creating a new CSSMatrix to hold the results. This too was a big win, mostly I think because you get rid of all the churn of creating and collecting CSSMatrix objects. ----- ~Chris [email protected]
