Benchmark: Offscreen canvas vs Cached Path2D

HTML Preparation code:

<canvas id="test-canvas"></canvas>

Script Preparation code:

const COUNT = 100

const offscreens = new Array(COUNT)
for (let i=0; i<COUNT; i++) {
  const canvas = document.createElement('canvas')
  const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')
  ctx.fillStyle = "red"
  ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 50)
  offscreens[i] = ctx
}

const path2ds = new Array(COUNT)
for (let i=0; i<COUNT; i++) {
  const path2d = new Path2D()
  path2d.rect(0, 0, 100, 50)
  path2ds[i] = path2d
}

const canvas = document.getElementById('test-canvas')
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')

Tests:

Create instances of offscreen canvas
const results = new Array(COUNT) for (let i=0; i<COUNT; i++) { const canvas = document.createElement('canvas') canvas.width = 100 canvas.height = 50 const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d') ctx.fillStyle = "red" ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 50) results[i] = ctx }
Create instances of Path2D
const results = new Array(COUNT) for (let i=0; i<COUNT; i++) { const path2d = new Path2D() path2d.rect(0, 0, 100, 50) results[i] = path2d }
Render offscreen canvases
for (let i=0; i<COUNT; i++) { ctx.drawImage(offscreens[i].canvas, 0, 0, 100, 50) }
Render Path2D
for (let i=0; i<COUNT; i++) { ctx.fillStyle = "red" ctx.fill(path2ds[i]) }
