jQuery animation performance

Question

Sometimes jQuery animations of elements seem to perform worse (fps-wise) than other elements. A very simple example would be if you have a very complicated DOM that you are trying to move around vs a very simple DOM.

Are there any lesser-known rules that greatly affect the performance of your animations, but might be easy to omit?

@dc5 that post is gold. Thanks. Put it as an answer and I'll accept it. — Dirk Boer, Sep 02 '13 at 18:33
