That's all well and good, except that it drives my tablet cpu to 50% just continually repainting the thing.  I have scripting off, so I guess the only way to turn it off is to avoid that web page.  I've seen amazon pages do similar things which are probably related to flash, but, I currently have flash off as well.

It's the oldest animation technology there is: animated gif.  Nothing
more than a sequence of frames that have a delay in them.

If that takes 50% of your device's CPU, I'd be worried about the
software you're running on it.
