I just measured that the animations on icons, such as the glow to indicate "new post in the thread", are eating up a significant amount of CPU or GPU time. Is there any way to remove these from the board?
GIF animations (such as the smilies) use much lower resources, so they're okay.

I never even noticed the pulsing glow animation on the unread forum icon -- I have removed that from the CSS. You will have to do a Ctrl+F5 refresh.
Anywhere else that has this type of animation?

I never noticed them until I browsed the forums on mobile one day, and I thought they was not there in desktop mode.
But then I noticed that desktop mode also had these effects, just too faint to be noticeable (it's more noticeable on mobile possibly because I had to zoom in to view the pages on a tiny phone screen).
As few people are really aware of them and if that really ate much resources it's not a loss without them.

How are we ever going to live with these graphical limitations??
