Hi Damon, I've updated the landing page for better efficiencies. So it hopefully will only be moderately wasteful :)
That is better, but it still more than doubles power draw.
I am not a fan of huge background animations generally, because of bandwidth and power and distraction issues.
BTW, this is not just me grouching for lolz: I run this laptop primarily off-grid, so wasting energy for background fluff on your project seems a triple shame...
