I just saw this twisted avatar gif on some forum...

http://static-cache.ipodtouchfans.com/customavatars/avatar34789_16.gif

I wanted to send it to my GF's iPhone, but of course, the animation won't play in an email, so I was gonna send a link. I sent the link to myself first to be sure it would play ok. I was surprised to see it play so slowly..about half the speed of desktop Safari. I tried force quitting Safari and played it again (Sam)...same slow framerate.

I'm not really lamenting the clunky framrate of bizarre GIFs, but to me it seems indicative of a slow system. My Powerbook plays GIFs slower if I have too many programs open. Hmm...
