My slideshow is choppy (looks like the fps is slow) when my images are a larger size, 1000 x 560 px. I resized the images to 200 x 200 as a test and the fade was smooth. Any ideas?

  • Animating big images will hit hard if your computer isn't up to par, don't expect desktop like performance in browsers, especially with IE6 still out there. – Robert Oct 04 '10 at 22:04
  • I'm not talking about speed because of transfers, but speeds because of the actual browser. You may have a smooth javascript animation in Chrome, but IE6 could stutter to a breakable amount, even on the same PC. – Robert Oct 04 '10 at 22:07

    You're completely missing the point. – Robert Oct 04 '10 at 22:11
  • I get the point, what I dont get is why you're talking about IE6, when it's a completely deprecated browser with no support anymore. – Dan Oct 04 '10 at 22:17

I think for larger images you're going to get some choppiness, especially when using jQuery animate.

Look at the difference between these two demos (use the left & right buttons):

So, I guess I'm saying try optimizing your code.

Believe it or not, the solution was to restart my mac! Odd...
