I have this zoomable heatmap, which looks too slow when zooming-in or out. Is there anything to make it faster/smoother or it is just too many points and that is the best I can have. I was wondering if there is some trick to make it lighter for the browser please while keeping enhancements like tooltips. Or maybe my code handling the zoom feature is not great .

The solution is not to update all the dots for the zoom but to apply the zoom transform to the group containing the dots.
Clipping of the group needs to be done on an additional parent g heatDotsGroup.
The zoom scale of y is taken care of (set it fixed to 1) with a regex replace, limit translate in y by setting the transform.y to 0, and limit the translate of x based on the current scale.
Allow a little translate past 0 to show the first dot complete when zoomed in.
var zoom = d3.zoom()
.scaleExtent([dotWidth, dotHeight])
.on("zoom", zoomed);
// Heatmap dots
var heatDotsGroup = svg.append("g")
.attr("clip-path", "url(#clip)")
.append("g");
heatDotsGroup.selectAll("ellipse")
.data(dataset)
.enter()
.append("ellipse")
.attr("cx", function(d) { return xScale(d.day); })
.attr("cy", function(d) { return yScale(d.hour); })
.attr("rx", dotWidth)
.attr("ry", dotHeight)
.attr("fill", function(d) { return colorScale(d.tOutC); })
.on("mouseover", function(d){
$("#tooltip").html("X: "+d.day+"<br/>Y:"+d.hour+"<br/>Value:"+Math.round(d.tOutC*100)/100);
var xpos = d3.event.pageX +10;
var ypos = d3.event.pageY +20;
$("#tooltip").css("left",xpos+"px").css("top",ypos+"px").animate().css("opacity",1);
}).on("mouseout", function(){
$("#tooltip").animate({duration: 500}).css("opacity",0);
});
function zoomed() {
d3.event.transform.y = 0;
d3.event.transform.x = Math.min(d3.event.transform.x, 5);
d3.event.transform.x = Math.max(d3.event.transform.x, (1-d3.event.transform.k) * width );
// update: rescale x axis
renderXAxis.call(xAxis.scale(d3.event.transform.rescaleX(xScale)));
heatDotsGroup.attr("transform", d3.event.transform.toString().replace(/scale\((.*?)\)/, "scale($1, 1)"));
}
