> SVG animations often cause enough CPU load to spin up laptop fans. Yeah I really don't know why the article claimed animated SVGs are performant. They aren't. SVGs are incredibly slow to render, and asking them to animate is murder as a result. There's no acceleration for them at all, entirely CPU-rendered (slow) and then needs to be uploaded to the GPU for the rest of the otherwise GPU-rendered or at least GPU-composited scene (also slow). Trying to do any of this on mobile, with extremely high resolutions, is going to absolutely tank performance.
