You use push() quite a lot. Reference says:

The push() function saves the current drawing style settings and transformations, while pop() restores these settings. Note that these functions are always used together.

Each push consumes memory while pop releases it. I assume that’s slowing down your code. You can use resetMatrix() in some cases and just reset fill() and stroke() values as you have done.

Hello,

I removed the push(); did not see a pop() and there should be one.

I reduced entities to 1200 and get a steady 60 fps.
