E.g. in the attached profile graph one single plot took around 40ms, where half of the time(!) is spent for `drawAxes`, or more precisely `drawLabels`.\n\nHaving half of the redraw time spent on doing labels? Seems quite inappropriate to me and I wonder if this can be speed up?\n\nThe problem is that it adds up quite a lot when having multiple plots at one page, just 10 plots and suddenly the redrawing process takes half a second.\n\nSince the problem lies in `drawLabels`, it also doesn't help to reduce the data (doesn't matter much if 5 or 500 points are plotted).\n\nOf course, better performances is everywhere nice, but looking at the profile I've got the feeling that drawLabels might be the best start to get some more.\n\n[Profile graph](https://goo.gl/photos/5Ud4eJRar9JiyKur5)\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/blankclemens","@type":"Person","name":"blankclemens"},"datePublished":"2016-03-01T11:36:48.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/298/plotly.js/issues/298"}
