Very beautiful theme but when I'm on the page my CPU starts consuming 25% (100% of one core). That's insane!

If I move to UI Features the CPU usage is 30% because the Progress Bars. When the animation stops, the CPU is on a constant 6-7%. When using the sliders from the UI Features, the CPU is 31% again. As I said: insane.

I think it's very important to understand that you (the creator of a web framework) don't own the CPU of your users. Using a 5%-10% ocasionally should be the maximum allowed, because the user will be doing other stuff at the same time, and we don't want to leave the computer unusable and a very slow browser.

(Note: I'm using Firefox 16.0.2 under Debian/Testing.)
