This is the first time we're hearing performance in that magnitude, and it's definitely not the intended frame rate. It sounds like your system is switching to software OpenGL rendering, rather than running directly on your GPU. Could you please share more details about your system on Github? https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/new

I just updated my GPU drivers using the xorg-edgers PPA on Ubuntu 14.04 (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) and now it's a lot better. Dragging the map, there's a small delay before the map moves, but when it does it's smooth. I remembered that I was having problems with Google Maps, as well as other Web GL stuff, so I figure there was a bug in my drivers.
