I just started playing with HTML5 canvas, and I was hoping to make a couple of games with it. However, as soon as I began to visualize the coordinates of the mouse, it distorted almost a stop:

All I did was make 38 lines and some text, it should be able to handle this, no?
Am I doing something wrong? I would like to be able to display up to 30 FPS, but for something like this I expect it to be able to draw 1000 times.
Or am I using the wrong tool to work? Is WebGL to complete this task? Why would it be much slower than the other?
String.prototype.format = function() {
var args = arguments;
return this.replace(/\{(\d+)\}/g, function(m, n) {
return args[n];
});
};
var $canvas = $('#canvas');
var c = $canvas[0].getContext('2d');
var scale = 20;
var xMult = $canvas.width() / scale;
var yMult = $canvas.height() / scale;
var mouseX = 0;
var mouseY = 0;
c.scale(xMult, yMult);
c.lineWidth = 1 / scale;
c.font = '1pt Calibri';
function render() {
c.fillStyle = '#dcb25c';
c.fillRect(0, 0, scale, scale);
c.fillStyle = '#544423';
c.lineCap = 'square';
for (var i = 0; i <= 19; ++i) {
var j = 0.5 + i;
c.moveTo(j, 0.5);
c.lineTo(j, 19.5);
c.stroke();
c.moveTo(0.5, j);
c.lineTo(19.5, j);
c.stroke();
}
c.fillStyle = '#ffffff';
c.fillText('{0}, {1}'.format(mouseX, mouseY), 0.5, 1.5);
}
render();
$canvas.mousemove(function(e) {
mouseX = e.clientX;
mouseY = e.clientY;
render();
});
<canvas id="canvas" width="570" height="570"></canvas>
