Have you done any benchmarking of canvas vs svg charts?

I did a while back for my university dissertation, I'll have to see if I can dig it out.

IIRC: canvas tends to outperform svg when dealing with a lot of individual objects, due to them being individual dom nodes in svg. However svg will outperform canvas drawing fewer nodes, on a larger canvas, due to canvas being bitmap based.
