You can see a working calendar at http://demo.placid.be/agendas/1;manage I can tell you our developer has tried out quite a lot of techniques to finally get to the point of getting the calendar as performant as it is right now. Our first route was using a table and Droppables on every table cell, but it became slow as hell (even causing browser crashes on older computers). Now, the trick to making it performant is using a single element with a repeating background image to contain the calendar events, then use the coordinates to determine what's being done.
