I provide a direct comparison against Transit in the top-right corner of the documentation.

ah sorry, missed that. Transit is much smaller though if you dont need all the features or extremely high perf.

EDIT: looks like Transit introduces hz tearing in perf demo, might be a bug in lib or demo?

Yep, Transit is super small. Velocity still gets quite small though -- about 7Kb when zipped.

As for Transit's tearing and banding at high element counts -- that is indeed the performance bottleneck of CSS transitions shining through. If you're interested, you can learn the technical reasons behind Velocity's speed increase over CSS and jQuery here: http://davidwalsh.name/css-js-animation

nice. i never understood why jquery never adopted RAF. back compat prolly with their apis.
