Performance degrades harshly as number of plots increases

This isn't my model and it is complex but wondering if there is anything that can be done about its very long setup time.

I suspect it is the plots and/or plot pens.
Yes, I've noticed that performance quickly degrades as the number of plots increases. Profiling the page you linked verifies as much.
I'm not sure what can realistically be done about this, though. Just kicking around vague ideas here: Maybe web workers could one day be used to alleviate much of the stress that the UI thread feels from having to manage the model state and the plot element updates all at once.
