Funny that you think of JavaFX having to do with the bad performance, actually the tweetwall inside the cinema rooms with 3d animation at 1920x800 was done with the experimental JavaFX (1.3.1) prism stack, both rocksolid stable and only a CPU usage of 10%
That twitter animation on our homepage is the one we showed in the hallway upstairs and it's indeed Javascript and HTML5, but i doubt it's using any of the GPU accellerated CSS3 animations, so it results in high CPU usage.
