The tutorial uses Zepto for animations, which backs onto CSS transforms.

"Zepto exclusively uses CSS transitions for effects and animation. jQuery easings are not supported."

doesnt look like they implement 3d transforms which is where the performance would come from.

This is an especially pertinent question as CSS transforms tend to be hardware-accelerated on mobile Webkit, playing more smoothly and using less battery, while jQuery animations tend not to be.
