jQuery fadeIn(), fadeOut() cause drastic performance hit
<p>I implemented a loading indicator (an animated .svg) with fadeIn and fadeOut to show/hide it on a page which also has an animated canvas, and there is a considerable drop in performance of my canvas while these operations are occurring, even going so far as to crash a certain mobile browser.</p>

<p>I changed it to simply show() and hide() the element, and there is no problem except it doesn't look quite as nice.</p>

<p>Just wondering if anyone else has noticed such performance issues, and if there is perhaps an alternative way to fade my indicator in/out? Thanks!</p>
