I'm wondering if there is any solution to the jerky performance in Chrome when using scale. Getting stuck between a rock and a hard place here. If I use scale to zoom images in and out (ie if creating a Ken Burns effect), it looks beautiful in every browser except Chrome for some reason. VERY jerky. But if I simply animate width and height, it looks perfect in Chrome, but terrible in Safari.
Scale is my first choice because its less code and allows for transformOrigin, etc... super slick! However I have been avoiding it solely because of the way it performs in Chrome. My solution thus far has been to animate the width and height of background images instead... which oddly enough, works smoothly in all browsers.
And THESE are the times I miss Flash...
