Worked so well that I didn't even realize this was video, thought they were GIFs
Worked well technically on i7/win7/laptop(32GB)/firefox. I didn't like the effect though: jittery, repetitive, distracting. A tripod would have gone a LONG way here as well as only using in focus images. as only using It was like channel surfing. I said, "ooh ahh" to myself, but didn't hold the channel there for long even though I love the concept.
Worked well for me on same hardware / software - suggest your video drivers aren't, er, driving...
FWIW it runs fine on Chrome Canary (currently 34). CPU/GPU is still excessive for videos that people might not even want to see, but the videos all run smoothly and the browser remains responsive. Not sure what the Chrome difference is for that.
I7, 32 GB ram, 7970 latest chrome dev and it was on its knees.
Works great on a i7 Ubuntu 13.10 x64 machine under Chrome 31.
i5 Mint 16 with Chrome 31 - worked great, no fan speed ups for anything.
Chrome Win7 as well. This page makes all 4 (and 8 hyperthreaded) cores peg 100%. But strangely it still feel responsive in scrolling etc.
