CanvaSX currently doesn't have its own rendering event loop or anything like that, it simply renders everything that is passed in. For now this makes the implementation very simple and naive.

Internally we are using this for our Aha! Whiteboards product, which is built on top of Fabric.js The Fabric framework provides a lot of the rendering optimizations out of the box: it will only render shapes that are visible in the current viewport. Fabric resets and re-renders the entire canvas every time, but it will only re-render as needed. There are also instances where we need to manually trigger a re-render based on state changes to the whiteboard.

So the rendering performance thus far has not been an issue. We are always looking for improvements to our product and the implementation of CanvaSX, but we didn't want to prematurely optimize or over-engineer the framework.
