Are you saying you're re-writing SVG animations into transitions? I thought SVG was more performant, but can't seem to find metrics and comparison benchmarks


Yes. I was animating an SVG path's scale from small to beyond full screen (zoom effect) and Chrome for Android struggled with frame rate. I just pulled that particular element out of the mo.js Tween handling since its movement was simple and put it into a CSS3 transition. Things went back to normal after that and I had a deadline to meet so I didn't really go back and dig into exactly why.
