Do you have chrome://flags -> "GPU compositing on all pages" set to enabled?

No, it was "Default".

I enabled it and... much to my surprise, the frame rate dropped significantly. It's now like 3 (three) frames per second (it's so slow I am able to actually count the frames!)

The "hover" animation (rainbow thing) is fine, 100% smooth. But the exploding animation is just ridiculously slow.

Then I set it to be disabled and the frame rate improved a little.

    Default: 20 fps
    GPU composition DISABLED: 10 fps
    GPU composition ENABLED: 3 fps

The machine I'm testing with is not particularly powerful, maybe that's the problem. 2 or 3 GBs of RAM, nVidia 9400 (or something like that).

A bit sad if that's “not particularly powerful” for animating a few letters on a freaking web page ... :-)
