Not true!


The eye is forgiving of objects in motion ... So you can reduce the number

of  calculations per frame by breaking up a tween of size, color and

position into two seperate tweens - both of them tweening position, and

each only tweening size or color.


There's other tricks one can come up with if you can break out of the mode

of  only thinking about the animation, and think about the animation AND

the perception of it.
