Thanks for trying it out. Can you clarify on the choppy animation -- was it slow to load, or the animation speed itself wasn't smooth? Great point on sending the user on to something else.

Sure: the animation speed itself wasn't very smooth... probably more of an opinion, but the feeling was like "yeah yeah, this is going to require too much effort to watch/grok". It was a tl;dr moment, right when you had me ripe to learn more or be directed elsewhere.

And the circular tick marks above the house just scream "something's loading" as they are just too similar visually to every throbber/ajax wait symbol users are used to seeing. Hope that helps!
