got me a site, see?

the problem is, the animated background is KILLING cpu's (seems to always hit, and stay at, 100% usage)

thats rediculous, i can't keep it like that.

problem being -- i love the effect!!

in doing various tests, i've foudn that it doesnt even matter how detailed the moving BG is -- it could just be a simple vector gradient (from solid white to solid red, no alphas), and its still maxed at 100%, as long as its animating back and forth.

why???

is there any way around this, other than the obvious "dont do it"?
