title: HTML5 SVG vs Canvas for big number of lines?
body: <p>Question:
    Is canvas more suitable than svg in the following case?</p>
  
  <p>Case:
    I'm drawing a chart (using d3js library) similar to this one (but with much more data):</p>

  <p>It's based on an svg and it works fine for several thousands of lines (up to 5000), adding more lines (svg path) decreases the performance dramatically (scrolling in the page becomes slow)</p>
  
  <p>Keep in mind: That I need to add mouse events (which is handy in svg)</p>
