What shall I use if I have thousands of elements to draw and animate?

If you have thousands of elements to draw and animate, you should consider using the new vectorized plot API in Swift Charts. This API is designed to handle larger collections of data more efficiently by allowing you to style an entire collection of data points homogeneously. This approach reduces the number of style alternations and avoids other computations during rendering, making it more performant for large datasets.
For more details, you can refer to the session Swift Charts: Vectorized and function plots at the timestamp 11:29.
