But the range here is very wide, depending on hardware, operating system, browser and the current state of the running browser (e.g.: RAM available, other tasks, number of tabs). On some systems it is fine until about 5000 atoms and then it is getting worse until you can't really work interactively with the mouse anymore. On other systems the limit is around 50000 atoms (at least in a browser started freshly). And on my new MacBook Pro I can even work with about 400000 atoms in Safari, although rotation and zoom are already quite sluggish.
