wow. Animate change to left via CSS, ~500 paint/reflow events. Animate translateX - 16!

@johnallsopp Changing left can require a reflow dbaron.org/css/test/2003/abs… But we should detect when not needed and optimize. Cc @davidbaron

@SickingJ @johnallsopp @davidbaron technically both should cause minor reflows because both can impact the size and position of scrollbars

@jaffathecake @SickingJ @johnallsopp When there's a change to scrollbars, we fall back to reflow.

@davidbaron @SickingJ @johnallsopp interesting, how do you know there's a change to scrollbars without a reflow?

Replying to @davidbaron
@davidbaron @SickingJ @johnallsopp gotcha. Similar in Chrome I believe. A low cost reflow to determine if scrollbars need updating.

@jaffathecake @SickingJ @johnallsopp No, this is Reflow only if scrollbars need updating, and normal cost (but we could improve if needed)
