Performance: scattergl lines slower than scatter lines? #4401

Description

@mitja-p

Hi,

everyone recommends scattergl for many points as it should perform better. I am however having troubles understanding why for rendering 100.000 points scatter is much faster than scattergl. Is this a bug?

Timings on my computer:
scattergl 1.5s
scatter 0.2s

At 15.000 points scattergl is already twice slower than scatter.

Example (open console to see the timings):
