> It also doesn't rely on jquery animate, which has a lot of extra cruft to run on older browsers and support legacy code. Writing the rendering in pure javascript helps a ton.
Quick question for anyone passing by: Do the latest versions of jQuery still have this issue? I know 2.x dropped legacy support, so it would be interesting to see how much efficiency with things like animations has increased.
As far as I've seen Jquery is still using an interval to animation, and not RequestAnimationFrame. This is because of glitchiness that occurs when you switch tabs during animations.
