I found this test a little complicated.
Normally when I test something, I ask a question, do the testing, compare
results, make a conclusion.
So the questions are:
* how can we make animation as smooth as possible.
* How can we get animation speeds the same for different browsers.
I did some testing, but the only result I could come up with was that it's a
little more jumpy with multithread (whatever that is) turned on.
So the conclusion then is that pathanim makes animation jumpy???
but a slideTo IS pathanim, and thread was supposed to handle faked
multithreading.
So I find it hard to see what we are actually testing.
> Also, is anyone else interested in this?
Most certainly, but I'm doing other things right now, so I can do testing,
and return results, if they are a little more focused, so I know what I'm
looking for without going over all your code.
It would be great if you could come to some conclusion at the end, that we
can apply to our animation, trusting it gives the best result.
Cheers,

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] Animation Timing Example w Multithread
> Greetings all,
> I got the animation timing example posted.
