title: Jquery animations are slow in google chrome
body: <p>I am not sure if this question is really specific for SO but I still would like to ask.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone noticed that jquery animations became less smooth on Chrome, if you just find a jquery plugin it seems very nice but usually on demo pages there is a little amount of tags and another javascript funcions. I am currently working on a project with rich interative interface using a lot of fadeIn() and fadeOut() functions (taking 300 as an argument). While in IE9, Opera and FF4 they run very smooth chrome cannot render them properly. </p>
  
  <p>For instance, chrome displays in very "unsmooth" way such a simple task as display 400x100px div with fixed position using function fadeIn(300).</p>
  
  <p>is it only my problem, or have you noticed something similar recently? I have tried stable and dev releases but with no luck, and as I have metioned all the other browsers can handle smooth animations.</p>
  
  <p>Update: this is an example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#ms_cal_menu').click(function() {
      var offset = $(this).offset();
      $('#cal_submenu').css("top", offset.top+'px').css('left', offset.left-5+'px').fadeIn(300);        
  });
  </code></pre>
