Dream Awake

Thanks @OSUblake though at the same time, I am seeing smoother animation on the same retina display in Chrome.

So this seems to be an ongoing issue and brought up in the past, I followed the suggestions such as force3D and using x,y rather that left,top - though it seems that wasn't the problem. After some investigation, I noticed that the performance differs depending what monitor I am viewing from. If I am using the retina display on my MacBook pro, I get a choppy frame rate. This doesn't occur in Chrome. Though external monitors are fine.
