# using the default matrix

If you're performing caculations dozens of times per second (in the case of animations. 60 times per second), performance is essential. Not only do we need to be able to perform calculations for complex compound 3D transforms at 60FPS, but we need to leave head room for any precursor computations, as well as compositing and painting. Performing the calculations ourselves (instead of leaving it to the CSS engine) gives us finer control over where (CPU vs. GPU, this thread vs. a WebWorker, sync vs. async) and when (precomputed, partially applied, realtime) computation occurs.
npm i
grunt test
then, open test/index.html in a browser
