Unfortunately the first thing I notice is the fancy animation at the top of the page stutters when loading, and causes my browser to use far more CPU than this type of page should.

Why is that unfortunate if you know it has nothing to do with what they're building?

Because presentation of the idea matters.

if it has nothing to do with what they're building, why is it above the fold on the landing page?

I follow Ethereum for a while now, it's really impressive the vision of the founders. Especially Vitalik Buterin. He have the technical abilities, the media power (he is a co-founder of the Bitcoin Magazine), and the vision (he anticipate long-term effect).

The team is growing rapidly, with impressive new members. The community as well.

"a revolutionary new platform for applications"

That didn't tell me anything.

It makes the site unresponsive on a raspberry pi.

Sure but context also matters. If they were building something for web or everyday consumers, maybe I would agree. There are plenty of useful platforms and tools that belong to not-so-great site designs (ie: http://curl.haxx.se/ ). Seems silly to have that weigh in on the idea at all but maybe that's just me.
