I think there is some confusion at about this. The code as posted does not do any fading unless you explicitly select a timelapsing background. If you do select such a background it will typically fade between two images over the course of maybe an hour. With 255 levels of alpha, that's So that's a frame per every 14 seconds. If that's undesirable on thin clients, just don't select such a background. The feature that Jeff talks about, where changing the background image causes a fade from the previous one, is likely to have performance issues even on desktops. But that is a different issue, that can be considered if someone writes the code.
