@davidbaron is this only for CSS3 keyframe animations, or also for manual JS animation outputted to CSS transforms per frame
1
@dmvaldman It applies to CSS animations and CSS transitions, but anything with per-frame JS depends on the main thread.

@davidbaron Is there also room for perf improvement regarding this? JS rAF animation -> SVG attributes (eg "transform"-attribute).

@TobiReif Anything involving requestAnimationFrame depends on running that requestAnimationFrame on the main thread

@davidbaron The demo animates HTML. Does the speed improvement also apply to SVG elements?

@TobiReif I think it applies to SVG elements, but not to transform when the SVG transform attribute is involved.
