Seems like the real problem that should be addressed is the fact that each request typically takes like 3-5 seconds to complete.<p>And it feels like it's been like this pretty much since the wayback machine was launched. Back then I expected that annoyance to be fixed over time - now, almost 16 years later I'm less hopeful. :/
I'm always amazed how people come up with artsy ways of using SVG. IMO this is akin to pixel art where tinkerers need to spend a lot of time to become in expert in creating these things.<p>Really appreciate the writeup.
