I think you have your culprit there. 
I don't know vue.js myself, but these frameworks are normally not optimized for embedded systems. They are good in hiding all the logics and presenting an "easy interface" for the programmer. However, as it's a .js library, I could imagine that a move for instance is a loop of changing a position by X-steps => cpu intensive.
Where you should do a translate3d => done by GPU, so barely CPU usage

But I know the feeling of persuading a client to do it differently. After all, it's working fine on that chromium browser on a pc ;-)
