A bigger problem than the fact that it isn't smooth at all is the fact that it freezes up my browser to the point where I had to disable images in order to scroll down here and type into the comment box. (i tried disabling javascript but then the comment box doesn't load. but i expect you knew that since you made the site.) i'm running firefox 3 so i don't expect it'd be much faster in other browsers
So it's kinda cool i must agree but pretty useless I'd say due to the immense processing cost of all that javascript. no matter how much we love it we must remember js is an interpreted language and therefore pretty slow as languages go. personally i find firefox frustrating for this same reason because most of the chrome is written in javascript especially the add-ons so once you install 50+ addons your browser slows way down.

Its fast with google chrome. tho not smooth, but doesnt freeze the browser. besides, FF3.5 will be able to compile javascript to native code just like chrome does, so...

reminds me of those old annoying animated gifs.
You could attempt to make a javascript image editor if you have the time.

It's only "impossible" until someone tries it.
