Comment (by kcrisman):

 > Playing some more, platformspeed 6 is the first one which shows the plot
 at all during rotation, 7 includes transparency, and 8 includes
 antialiasing as well. Which is greatly affecting shape and size of "thick
 curves" and "fat points". In fact, with 8 I can see no differences while
 rotating and while not rotating and I think this should be the default (it
 certainly was the default before). I don't know what is changing between 8
 and 10.
 I'm not sure it's changing anything.
 > With 200 points your sin plot works OK for me and while on 6 it may be
 faster, it is not at all the difference between OK and unusable. This is
 on a fast desktop (4GHz cores) and I'll try to test on a slower machine as
 well, however I am for default of 8 regardless of outcomes.

 It's definitely very, very slow for me on my 2.3 GHz i7.  Probably also
 depends on the browser.  (By the way, for some reason I can use Java in
 Chrome; maybe it's just Chromium where it doesn't work.)  I really
 wouldn't go above the 7 in case it really does do something.   Among other
 reasons, because the doc for this at
 http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/test2.htm suggests that for tablets
 or other mobile devices one will have problems with higher values.
