Saying "Animation in jQuery relies on CPU and Memory" is silly if you use translateZ(0) to create a composited layer which uses a tremendous amount more memory. WebKit at least will create a composited layer for the duration of a transition/animation all by itself -- if you do choose to use translateZ(0) everywhere, understand that it consumes texture memory the whole time the element is in the DOM (and not display:n…
