How is canvas a "trainwreck" in performance? I've used it extensively and have found it a very well performing framework.

The difference in performance with Flash is huge, modifying the context is quite expensive, resetting it is expensive, which is problematic because it is stateful.

You have to compare it to non-Web technology to get an idea of how bad it really is. Compared to SVG/HTML, it's of course massively faster.
