Simplify it as much as possible. Any animation that moves and changes a

large portion of the screen at one time needs to be very simple to move

quickly. There is a reason that sites that seem to move quickly are

composed of only simple circles. In other words there is no way to move

large objects quickly across a large portion of the screen. When objects

are moving they don't always need as much detail, so one trick is to

move a lightly detailed item and replace it with a higher detailed

version when at rest.
