At the time I didn't see the point of multiple canvasses when you could have multiple layers, but I'll have to try it for myself.
Yeah, it's a dirty hack to get around poor performance with multiple items on a canvas. It would be great if Roku could improve canvas performance, but I'm not sure how feasible that is with the hardware and the canvas's current main purpose. Hopefully there's some optimizations they can make to greatly speed up adding layers with lots of images already on the canvas. I could live with the ~100ms update time if it was somewhat constant, and didn't turn into 4000ms when lots of images were already present on that canvas.
P.S. I just realized I haven't tested whether there's a difference in delays with multiple images if they are overlapping or not. I guess I know what I'll be testing tonight...
