During A/B testing we found a significant preference (increased engagement time, reduced downloads of original PDF for local viewing) for the version that doesn't animate loading thumbnails. Profiling shows that the transition effects hit at a pessimal time when the compositor is busy rendering the main PDF page view, and rendering thumbnail previews, causing the main scroll view to stutter. With the transition removed scrolling is perceptibly smoother in Chrome and Firefox. We also hypothesize that the transition effects added to a perception of slowness but presumably the aforementioned stutter is the primary issue here.
