Finally, CSS based gradient text, no images

Looks good, but I also experienced unbearable sluggishness on Linux/Firefox when scrolling.

Specifically, Xorg and firefox processes use nearly all my CPU when I scroll.

It's unusable in its current form (at least on this system). Hopefully you can tune your code; this is a neat effect.

Unusable for me on Linux/firefox too.

There seems to be something really slow about javascript-heavy sites on Unix, I think.

I'm really curious what the underlying cause is, if it's not just perception bias on my part.

Possibly, since I don't use anything else I don't know (except in a virtual machine). I get the impression however that the firefox people spend a lot of time optimizing for MacOS and Windows that they don't spend on Linux for some reason.

Performance is not a problem in Chrome, but readability is. It's virtually unreadable because of fuzzy text rendering.
