Hi, i would like to know with we can imagine to have a pure css transition on cycle2 in a near futur,

In this way we can get the benefice of the hardware acceleration when using cycle2 and the touchswipe plugin on webkit browser (and this could be really nice for iphone and ipad)

thanks a lot

I don't know when I'll get to this. It's something I plan on doing when I have time.

Caveat: Some of the most recent research on this topic suggests that the performance gain from forcing graphics acceleration in webkit might actually be negative!

http://blog.tumult.com/2013/02/28/transform-translate-vs-top-left/

From the conclusions: • If compositing non-opaque items, forcing graphics acceleration in WebKit will have a huge performance boost in Safari/Mobile Safari and a modest boost in Chrome. • If compositing only opaque items, forcing graphics acceleration in WebKit will have a negative impact on performance

Aren't most slides typically opaque?
