Wow, 8bn icons on a webpage and it doesn't lag. Is this normal?

Yes. It's one background image, tiled 8 billion times, but you never see more than a screen of tiles at a time. Virtual scrolling is fast.

It's a tiled image.
Still impressive rendering 2,004,000,000,000 pixels, but we see the efforts of clipping reducing that dramatically.
